There is still some avalanche activity as a hapless couple discovered as they traversed below a sun-baked slope. One skier was beyond the path, but the other skier had to run for it as it came down. This same pair had earlier dug a couple of holes at the top of the shaded run, but skied down elsewhere.
The experience of the two skiers digging and (I assume) analyzing the snow pack on a shady aspect, and then triggering a slide on a dissimilar, sunny aspect was thought provoking.
Geno and I avoided the sunny slopes and skied as much shady powder as we could find.
