Update from UAC Staff: From another report, "Travelling up Patsy Marly West Ridge, observed fresh debris below with a group of 3 skiers on top. Appeared that at least one skier unintentionally triggered the avalanche and was caught and carried. Checking in with the group confirmed no one was injured or buried. This may have already been reported by the group involved."
