Skiied north aspect of Gin peak. Triggered small wind slab directly off the peak, starting on steep convexity in thin snow. Further down the slope another party did the same. Crown ~4m across and ~25cm at deepest point. Skiing was better in trees - new snow sitting on chunky crust in exposed terrain. Heavier powder than expected. No natural avalanches observed.
