Comments
Skiing Microwave at 5:00 pm the 2nd of 3 skiers triggered a wet slab over a convex feature
1st skier in group was able to move out of the way and no one carried. Original slide released another small face over another convex feature and total mass continued to the Albion Basin road.
3rd skier triggered a smaller, yet not unsubstantial, wet slide when traversing over to safer terrain.
