Commentaires

Did a short tour to ski some trees off of White Queen. Was expecting colder temperatures but even just the base layer was too hot. Snow was heavy, wet, and made it really hard to ski tighter trees so we ended up trying to find the most open patched possible. Once we were on the ridge on the way up White Queen we noticed that Evening Ridge had slid again. Judging by the amount of fresh over the week and the crown depth I'm pretty sure it went on the same December layer that it went on the previous week in the skier triggerd slide. We alerted patrol but didn't see tracks nearby so we assumed it was a natural.
