Comments

We skied Peregrine on December 27th and snow pack was very stable (we did not climb the last steep section to the ridge).

~10cm of fresh snow in the night of December 27th to 28th.

We went back to Peregrine and 2 skiers climbed the ridge. The steep section was wind loaded and first skier triggered a small avalanche (~10-30 cm deep slab). Crown fracture on convex slope at top of ridge.
