12 Miles

Skinned up the avy path, as we didn't notice any signs of instabilities down below. As we approached ridge top, we walked off the avy path and close to some small trees and felt the snow settle. Some 80m across the slope from us, a slab around 50-60 cm thick and about 80m wide released and ran fast to the bench below, at around 2000m, covering our skin track! Happy we didn't have a bigger group with people below us...
