Around 11:45am, a snowboarder triggered a soft slab avalanche above two skiers who were traversing underneath. The avalanche propagated and took out the entire width of the chute that the skiers were skinning across. Both skiers were carried several hundred feet and partially buried. One sustained a knee injury. Other skiers were nearby to help and everyone got out safe.
