Avalanche - Near Tent Ridge

gagnon.lg, Saturday 8th February, 2025 10:38PM
<p>Two of us were headed up to ski some slopes when the second in the back remote triggered a slide. First person was not moving but in the slide path when it slide. 1st managed to ski out without getting caught in debris and second skied down and away. No one was buried. Decision to ride the west slope was based on the sun and how it was having slightly less impact on the west slope. No signs of instability until second skier got a small whumph which was likely what remote triggered the slope further up. Luckily we were spaced out for safety purposes. Slope st skier level was about 28 degrees and 35 at the start zone. Did not inspect further due to the unsupported slope above that didn’t slide.</p>
