Quick report

Two avalanches and excellent skiing. I intentionally triggered slides in both ski runs. ASc SS D1 and D2, respectively. A different solo skier, just before me and a little east of where I skied the Chicken Scratch zone, triggered a small slab too. Both Chicken Scratch slides started well below ridge crest and involved only the newest snow. Unskiabowl avalanche started right at ridge top in surface 20cm, but halfway down entrained much more volume and stepped down to n/o interface.
