Comments
Went up to ride Cheops west face. Ski cut into the line and saw a size 2 soft slab avalanche run down about 200meters. Crown was about 1-2feet deep, 20meters wide. Managed to stay high while it flushed out. Looked like storm snow sliding on suncrust. Northern wind could have sent snow into the west face making it deeper there than other aspects. Didnt see any other activity during that day. Rode to the highway from there and had a great run.
