Skinned up Short Swing in Mill D North this afternoon, skied it, then skied out into Beartrap from Pt. 9269. The sun yesterday afternoon created a slight crust on south-facing slopes, and east- and south-facing slopes today started to get moist pretty quickly once the sun started to shine. It's still hair trigger out there on most steep stuff, and it looked like almost everyone has been playing it pretty safe out there.
I got some good photos of the avalanche in Beartrap Fork on 1/24. Here is the UAC link with an explanation from the party that set it off: Beartrap Avy
