Comments
Group was uptracking on 27 degree rib (lookers left side in photographs) separating two steeper slopes. Triggered the avalanche from a shallow location. Avalanche propagated 1 m behind the person breaking trail, and about 50 m upslope. Person caught was able to arrest safely. No injuries or lost equipment. Remainder of untracked was unaffected.
