Great skiing in the trees and mellow slopes, skied only east aspects, one remote trigger sz 1.5, initial fracture propagated 25-30 meters, slid approximately 40 meters. Dug a quick RB prior to first descent, storm layer slid at RB3 and deep persistent layer was quite stubborn with very little movement. Noticed several short debris paths on west aspects which popped during the storm.
