Had a good day out riding kindergarten couloir.A size 1.5-2 avalanche in the last 24 hour ran down half the fan starting about 1/4 up the couloir looking to start from sluffing from the steeper rock walls on the side. The debris was set already making the boot pack a little easier. Further up turned to more firm snow and rather stiff at the top. Probed the center having 150cm. Temp was -10 at our transition. Skied well on the way with a few lumps to avoid.
