Comments

Second skier down felt rocks and turned across slope to the left(west) to stop. Moved onto an isolated wind slab which propagated up and to the left beyond the skier to the left (west). Skier was carried down about 20-25m and was buried to knees at location of photo. Skier was not injured.
