Same around granite with slabs in steep terrain even in trees that can easily be triggered, but not deep. Can carry someone.
Avalanche
2:45pm. Small 1 foot deep avalanche triggered by skier, in steep entrance to couloir. Avalanche spread through the width of the couloir and ran down the length of the couloir (no cliff below) to main endless. The skier was caught for 100ft but able to ski out. The slide was not big enough to bury a person. Just flowed fast with steepness.
