Comments
north facing around 11am, skiers right of two dogs and west of oingo boingo. Dropped in from the ridge and second skier triggered a small wind slab (cross loaded?) only about 4" by 20 feet, very slow moving debris (higher and lookers left in photo w longer crown). This sympathetically triggered a second small slide on a convexity out of the skiers path to skiers left (lower, lookers right in photo) with a taller crown probably around 12" by 10 feet wide which was probably also wind slab. On the way back up the skinner (where it usually is on two dogs) roller balls already forming by 11:30am.... it's hot out there folks
