<p>Was out tail guiding with the U of C First Track Friday group. Since Avy conditions were High, High, Considerable we decided to ski Narao glades. Snow was decent with a few unsupportive pockets. As I was descending a lower angle open glade (above a convexity), I remotely triggered a .5 avalanche below an out cropping of rocks from about 10’ away. Pucker factor went up, that’s for sure!</p>
