Comments
Counted 20 or so people on the way up to the summit of Mount field. On the descent from the summit there were two small skier triggered slab avalanches. No apparent wind effect on the pitch down from the summit. Both start zones were on the convex roll skiers right of the main Mount field descent line. There were no burials or trauma and the majority of the skiers were able to descend the more supported slope without incident.
