Traversed from Grey Mt to the Strawberry pass. Was warm and sunny with light breeze. Moist surface snow (with lots of fun with glopping on the skins) but supportive underneath. Some wind slabs on the ridgeline. We stayed to the ridge and avoided any large slopes or overhead hazard. Size 2 avalanche on the S face of Plewman that ran to valley bottom looked natural and a couple days old. Still some good ski quality on northern aspects!

Avalanche

Saw the debris but unsure when it happened, date and time was forced and is a guess. Could not see tracks associated with it so presuming natural.
