Avalanche Information

-While performing a ski cut on an open area of a treed ridge, felt the snowpack whumph and looked up to see that an adjacent open roll in the start zone we were avoiding had remoted and propagated out some 65-80m. Ran about 400m distance and collected enough storm snow to break a few younger trees near its toe. Made doubly sure to avoid unsupported terrain and convexities after that.
