Quick Observation
Skied ledge couloir and exit gully. Everything treeline and above is Wind hammered. Although most places seem to be welded on, the odd pocket here and there still seem to have energy to move. (See avalanche tab)
Avalanche Information
Triggered while entering exit gully from the skiers right on an unsupported wind loaded south facing panel. Failed on faceted layer between recent storm snow and recently wind loaded snow
