Incident

Me and a friend skied down a chute on Kokanee ridge down to Montana bowl right next to the skin-track, when I triggered a mix between a slab and a loose dry avalanche big enough to kick me off my feet and wash me a ca. 1.5 Meter cliff down. Luckily I didn’t get buried and have no injuries but I tomahawked 5-6 Times down the slope. The line I wanted to ski is nothing crazy but I underestimated the conditions and didn’t took enough time for my decision and I should have checked it better.
