Comments
Two avalanches triggered today. Both by sledders. First one was a size 1 in the tree line on a smaller slope. Next one was a much larger size 3 in the alpine. It was a convex slope with cross loading from wind. We decided not to ride the slope due to conditions but one rider got too close. Triggered from the top but managed to just avoid being caught. The entire slope ripped and was anywhere from 3-5 feet in depth. Varying across the slope. Picture is from the smaller slab thickness area
