Comments
While traveling across the ridge towards the summit above the skiers right path we observed a drum like sound. The snow surface felt "slabby" We set our skin track several meters back from where the terrain rolls away into the path. While skiing back down our skin track a size 3.5 was remotely triggered 6 meters down slope from our tracks. See the avalanche tab for more specific details.
