On the prospect of undoing a lifetime of good calls, with one dodgy one... Staying safe

"Mountains Speak, Wise Me Listen" John Muir

This is one of my favorite quotes that perfectly sums up approaching the mountains. You can take all the avalanche courses in the world but if you do not read the signs it does not matter.

Good spot!

Worth pointing up the "Five Red Flags" that should turn you back :-

- New Snow
- Recent Avalanches
- Collapsing or Cracking in the Snowpack
- Rapid Temperature Rise
- Strong winds, Blowing and Drifting snow

Well covered by this video on TGR - Avalanche Safety - Five Red Flags.
