Checked out Summit Creek Hill looking for some safer terrain with less overhead hazards given the conditions. We triggered a small avalanche from below it while skinning up, so stopped to dig a pit on a 25 degree slope. Weak layer 30cm below the surface collapsed on compression test #14. We skied a couple of laps on mellow slopes and had some great turns in nice, fresh powder!
