Comments
Post-work afternoon walk around Wawa North towards Healy Main; no signs of instability nor natural activity.
On the way towards the drainage, we avoided the steep alpine features leading towards the drain and skied a mellow gully.
When in the gully, we remote triggered (~100m) a size 2 avalanche on a steep cross-loaded alpine feature near tree line. It failed on the DPL.
We dug a pit in the trees above the drainage. HS165. Crust observed @ 125cm. Multiple weak layers below 100cm. ECTN22H.
Saw one other skier who ripped Wizards solo.
