Comments
Very remote trigger. I was approximately 6 feet back from the roll over where the slope steepens and it propagated under my feet. I fell into the path but was not carried. This appeared to be a significant wind slab, combined with dense wet snow that broke all the way down on to a buried weak layer. When we measured the slope angle it was between 28-30 degrees. The crown was 8-10 feet deep in places.
