Great powder snow found on north aspect in Coleman area, between 2700m and 2000m. Snow became crustier below that elevation. East facing slopes were more variable with a variety of sun/wind layers and some bottomless facets until about 2100 where travel became easy. Shooting cracks were observed suspected facets failing under the recent sun crust.
Avalanche
Triggered size 1 (or 1.5?) avalanche in thick to thin gully feature. No propagation along further slope and rider was able to ride out. Didn't spend time examining crown, rough estimates.
