Avalanche

We observed two events on the east aspect during the descent to Snow Lake. One skier triggered a small D1 slab avalanche in recent wind-loaded snow. In a separate incident on the same east aspect, a skier fell and triggered a slab above them that detached and collapsed with a audible whumph. Although this second slab did not slide, we were able to clearly observe the crown, flank, and stauchwall.
