Wet Slab Avalanche on the way down Emma Ridge this afternoon. The snow was really wet and there were balls rolling down the mountain on the way down. Our group was trying to be cautious on the way down because we figured wet slides were likely, one of the guys in our party ended up taking an unintentionally hard turn and triggering it. It was really slow-moving, and the face couldn't have been more than 35 degrees. No one was caught by it.
