Comments

One skier and a snowboarder were on a supported face above me before I dropped in. They gave me about a minute before either cutting or riding it setting off a grade 2 avalanche behind me. I was the third or fourth person down the slope. The sluff was very manageable. Error on my part traversing a bit back toward the cliff at the end.
