Comments

One skier flanking above started a Size 1, other skier traversed into avalanche. Skier was hit by the sluff and taken down the rest of the avalanche 45 meters into a flat terrain trap. Skiers caught in avalanche head was barely visible above the snow. Partially buried from chest down at end of slide due to terrain trap, in a flat area depression. This was an inbounds area, however not much ski compaction was present. Slide went to ground on a steep slope.
