We skied up to the bench at the bottom of Kill Devil. Back the same way. Moist snow and warm temps made trail breaking hard. Stiffer snow at the surface. Ice crust down 40-60cm.

Avalanche

Small avalanche probably natural during last storm (30cm of snow + 40-60 km/h wind). Soft debris still visible.
