Dean rode over a roll on a fairly low angle slope near the Whites Bedground Road and triggered a small soft slab avalanche. He said he was surprised at how low angled the slope that he triggered was.... "This was completely a surprise after riding steeper and bigger hills all morning."

"The avalanche wasn't very big and probably wouldn't have been much of a problem even if it caught someone"....

He said that around the about same time, "we saw tracks from someone riding right up under the cornice of Three Terraces" a huge upper elevation wind-drifted avalanche path on Providence Peak.
