Incident

Small accidental skier-triggered size 1 (or 0.5, it was very small) on a E/NE aspect near 1600m. 25-30cm crown. Avalanche slid on a fairly soft layer of slightly wind affected snow underneath. Soft snow in the slab that slid. Triggered on a very short 35-40 degree slope. 10-15m wide crown, propagated 5-10m. Skier skied out ahead of the little avy unharmed. No other avalanche activity, natural or not, observed throughout the day.
