Comments
Group of 6, 2 involved. First skier ski cut the top of a planar open area above a supported gully, skied 300m distance of the line and got into a safe area on the side. Second skier dropped in triggered a small, but slow stubborn slab that eventually caused a release that stepped down resulting in a more significant avalanche. 0 buried. Good communication ensured everyone walked away.
