Observations
Kept it low angle for the day and saw very little reactivity. Intermittent cloud/sunshine thru the morning made visibility challenging at times.
8-10" of storm snow sitting on top of the frozen bed layer. Cut a little too close to the ridge crest on our second lap and triggered the slide in the photo.
