Quick report

On my exit north, most of the north east chutes on Fred’s mountain had slid naturally. All observations of instability were observed after triggering the avalanche.

Large section of cornice failed behind me on my second turn. Saw snow fracture below me, once I was swept off my feet I deployed my airbag. I was deposited on top of the debris pile near the bottom of the slope.
