Comments

3rd skier on slope triggered Sz 1 avalanche mid slope in shallow and variable snowpack area. Was caught and carried through gully/cliff feature. Was able to stand up in flow and exit unharmed before avalanche stopped. Consequential terrain to be carried through, with fortunately no injury. Details of avalanche in Avalanche tab, suspect persistent slab failure.
