Comments
Avalanche trigged behind second skier on the slope.
Remote triggered second avalanche in adjacent terrain feature.
Skier on slope was able to ski to an island of safety before the avalanche caught him.
Avalanche started smaller and slow moving and stepped down got larger. The two avalanches merged at a gully (terrain trap) it got really large and fast with a big powder cloud small trees snapping etc.
