Avalanche occurred on the very hard (knife hard) surface and soft new snow interface. The avalanche occurred at a concaving 35 degree slope and ran very slowly and was easily cut out of to an island of safety. As we had planned I waited for my partner to ski down. Stay safe out there and always bring your beacon, shovel and probe.
