Quick Observation
Avalanche Information
Size 1.5 slide triggered by a skier fall. 30 cm crown near trigger point, 60 cm crown further out. Guessing a wind scour effect around exposed rock shoulder made the buried hoar layer closer to surface and more easily triggered. Everyone OK, no one caught. No whumpfing that day, but did hear whumpfs the next day on the way out.
