Skiing down from the Asulkan hut this morning. Conditions were hideous from the hut - rained soaked slush. Had rained overnight and melted snow from yesterday's warm weather hadn't frozen. Skiing down the ridge near tree triangle it was very easy to trigger wet loose slides. Picture shows one which started small but gathered more snow as it went down. Bed surface was presumably a sunscrust.
