Comments
Skinning over to the top of Freeland - No intention of skiing the chutes but did one pole whack on the top of the chute and it let loose as a sluff at first but propagated a windslab layer and slide the distance of the chute. Solitude is currently closed and should be treated as backcountry terrain. We skied west/southwest aspect and lower angle terrain off the top back into Grizzly - North/Northeast slopes have seen significant loading and will only become more tricky as the day goes on.
Didn't have a chance to snap a photo. Be safe out there!
