Very pleasant day. A knee deep skin track up to the ridge. Alders still thick, being held up by surrounding snow.
Avalanche Details
Extending the skin trail up sunburst we found some poorly bonded snow. The first skier on slope, skiing next to the ski track got this 2 foot crown to pop. Semi expected. There was trepidation by our group upon meeting up with the trail blazers. Initially hard to tell it popped. The snow, light and billowy disquised the moving snow. The skier confidently made it back to the ridge, an island of safety. Careful out there.
