Avalanche

Triggered windslab while skinning on ridgeline over 35 degree East facing open slope 400 ft above thicker trees. Propagated across entire slope(1000’plus). Ran another 1k . Soft slab. Crown height 3ft. Did not step down. Failed on most recent facet layer. Touchiest snowpack I’ve seen in this area during six years of riding very aggressive terrain often during heavy loading. It’s scary in the salts right now.
