Five skiers were involved in an avalanche that is initially thought to have been triggered on a weak layer buried at the end of January. The avalanche subsequently stepped down to a deeper weak layer buried early November and in some places scoured all the way to ground. There were no burials - all the victims remained on the surface. Three victims suffered minor injuries, one suffered a broken leg and one succumbed to their injuries. The presence of trees is thought to have contributed to the severity of the injuries.
