Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I've seen a few guides do similar (with or without tree) in Japan when touring through deep snow with folk who weren't very proficient at kick turns (we had a few snowboarders who were very handy on the downs but first time on split boards). The guides basically shuffled around to create a flat area of snow so others would do the same and didn't need to kick turn.
Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I can seen doing that with the wrong tree resulting in it dumping all the snow from its branches on your head.
Yesterday outrageous strong winds so snow pack above trees not good, and people in our group not up to climbing as well as skiing beyond the trees. One of them was suffering from early stages of hypothermia, but as a 21 yr old would he listen to our advice

As long as you make the turn does it matter?
I’ve done similar on no fall zone steep slopes, better safe than gain a few style points

@Weathercam, sorry to hear that, we called it for the same reason at about 1350 (not too far from the tree line) also.
The crater looks incredible...one day perhaps.
Hope the rest of your trip keeps giving.
