Three laps of ursus trees in 1ft+ of fresh powder. Fun, stable riding down, no major avi activity observed. Some smaller pinwheels on steeper sections. Traversed up and over to Hospital Chute, signs of a single old avalanche crown (crown <1ft, southwest aspect, size 1.5) into the mellow gully we traversed, but no active observations. Fun riding for deep and light powder. Moderate visibility with more snow falling throughout the day. Rode leeward slopes today. Probe (320cm) at top of Ursus and barely reached ground.
