1x SA sz 1 on E aspect 2050 m Crown 30 - 50 cm on Dec 19 below Asulkan Hut , Partial burial , no lost equipment, no injuries. the involved person was able to cough up the snow in their mouth

We put a skin track across a lee slope and traveled with spacing between use. When the 2nd person arrived at the crest to join the 1st , the 3rd was in the middle of the slope with about 15m of slope above. The slab propagated form near where the first 2 where standing, released and knocked the 3rd off their feet with a dense slab.
