Group of 3 riders approaching top of N, alpine slope below headwall when 1st person triggered pocket of windslab out of shallow, rocky terrain. The avalanche occured at 2550m on 32-35deg SZ scrubbing to ground(suspect facets above ground). The first two riders were caught in avalanche with 1st person being swept 75m and was able to move out of path. The second rider was caught for 5m and rode out. No serious injury.
