It wasn't difficult for a skier to trigger this small soft slab consisting of fresh snow on a steep mid-elevation slope above the Green Gate in Providence Canyon. The fast running yet manageable avalanche overran the start of the Dogleg up-track.... The skier was easily able to escape out to the side of the slide...
