Went for a small tour to the bowl. 100% wind transport last night around tree line. Exposed crust or wind effected snow - no middle ground. Warm, crusty and grabby in the trees.

Avalanche

Ski cut a very small pocket of wind affected terrain to see if human trigger would result in a slide. Controlled, small size one. Easy panner surface with propagation on the raincrust. The wind slab was 12-40cm and very dense. In larger terrain a small avalanche could easily injury knees or more.
