<p>On our way up we saw evidence of the previous storm cycle with various crown lines up to size 1 (24-48 hours old). After skiing our line (on our exit route), a skiier triggered a size 0.5 while contouring around the base of a steep convex roll feature. Skiier was caught but not buried and there were no injuries. Release was a storm slab on a NE aspect at 1500m. </p>
