Comments
See avalanche report. Skiier triggered slab. 70-100cm deep. surprisingly wide propagation. Reverse wind loaded onto crust + old hoar. Skiier was not caught and wound up on bed at top. Partner in safe zone went through trees to meet up and triggered another small size 1, also was not caught. Size 1 ran ~20m. Size 2.5 ran maybe 509m to a lower 20 deg bench, a little made it over the far side of bench and triggered another size 1.5/2 which went to the bottom of bowl. We got off aspect ASAP.
