My partner triggered this soft slab avalanche while skiing down a dividing sub-ridge between East Miller Bowl and the lower angled Secret Slot...
The Theodolite App. on my iPhone captured this data looking down the east flank where the slide was triggered from.
The avalanche propagated a good ways through the steep trees and into into the main part of the east side of Miller Bowl.
It was nice of the avalanche to be so easily triggered..... No one was caught in this because it slid before we could get out on it, if we had wanted to......
