Skied the open trees on East Plewman. Did a CT and an ECT below the summit (2100). Moderate result but no propagation on a crust down 40cm and hard result with propagation (ECT) down 1 m. Noticed an old avalanche crown, 30 cm deep, below treeline on a steeper rollover that propagated 60 m across in the forest.

Avalanche

Probably less than a week old avalanche under treeline. Convex and steeper slope. Possibly skier triggered (old track).
