Slashed the Pow, snapped the photo. Unfortunately it was taken a 1/2 second to early. Other wise we would have had the white room re-entry shot with full cracking. Continued to ride out and away from mini golf slope as per normal protocol. Ben very calmly said "avalanche" as I was aware and still moving away from slope on board. Debris was 5'-6' deep. Test slope. Inbounds.
