Tryst lake chutes --- Chutes are filled in decently well but still shark season on the sides. Day was sunny and cold. Blanket of about 30cm of dry powder on a thicker crust. Evidence of wind loading present. On our route back came across a size 1-2 sluff slide (that wasn't present in the morning) from a wind loaded slope on the South East facing section of Tent Ridge where the skin track has you exposed. Humble reminder to make smart choices on the slopes you ride, and to not to stop in exposed areas because they are exposed for a reason. Top of tent ridge is very stripped by wind currently
