I forgot to upload this MIN report but still think its relevant. This was last friday dec 30( picture taken the day after) by me. Storm slab triggered by me. It was a stormy day, snowing a lot all day. We even felt it was deeper mid day then beginning of the day. This face was overloaded later in the day, i got to the steepest part, was fully enjoying deep fluffy powder turns. It cracked below me, I had to ride the crack out for couple meters towards the gully then down. See the crack into the trees. Slab was about 30 cm thick. And ran only for couple meters down.

Natural avalanche from dec 30 at night or dec 31st morning (picture taken dec 31 and was not triggered on dec 30 when we were riding). Snow seems shallow by and below the rocks, lots of rocks showing even before the avalanche. Same area but facing NE.
