Avalanche Information

Ladybird zone. 2 riders parked in a safe spot in the alpine. 3rd rider traversed low-angle terrain towards the safe spot and remote-triggered a size 1 (location 1) directly above him, which immediately triggered a sympathetic size 2 (location 2), and a sympathetic size 1 (location 3). Fracture line was 30cm+, likely wind slab. The rider rode away from location 1 avalanche before it reached him, and across the runout zone of location 2 avalanche before it also reached him. We noticed critical warming in the alpine shortly after, pinwheels, etc. We modified our plan for the day and rode wind sheltered trees / slopes lower down, away from wind loading.
