Comments
Teaching a riding clinic today. I decided to ride up to see how reactive the wind slabs/cornices are and remote triggered a small slide. A great test slope for feeling out what's going on and demonstrating to the class what a test slope looks like.
We then took the class around the hill more north facing to dig a snow pit.
