My partner and skinned up the Pink Pine Ridge to the top of Red Right Returning. We had no noticeable whoompfing or cracking on our ascent. We did not observe any natural slides from the ridge. But our line was suspect. We dug a pit with similar aspect and got results with a lot of force breaking the column top 18". With my partner observing, I made a ski cut at the top most steep part of RRR and stomped down multiple times, moved forward and did the same. After multiple heavy jumps on both skis, I did get the slope to break with the crown being about 18" deep. The snow slid below me about 75 yards. It was intentional, no one caught.
