Came across skier that had just been buried up to his head, after triggering a soft slab on the traverse right before joint point coming out of granite canyon. He was the first to set the traverse and hit the slab, and it broke above him, carried him down, he pulled his airbag and he said he was carried a couple hundred feet and was buried to his head. Not sure all the details, only talked to him a bit, but was with another buddy who was further behind him.
