Comments
Party of 6 skiing a bowl by Vantage peak. We observed some wind effect on the ridge and decided to drop on a mellow bowl before the main line ( vantage NW). The line was previously skied by 2 skier that noted some slabs. Our third rider skied the right line which was slightly steeper and trigger a size 1 avalanche with around a 25cm crown. He was able to ski out of it and no one was injured
