Was snowboarding a chute on the backside of the snake creek ridge at brighton resort, soft slab broke out from under me, got to the side fine. Looked like only a 4 or 5 in break of loose wind blown snow on top of what I'm sure is the Jan 8th rain crust. Not the largest avy ever, but it could have thrown you into some trees or rocks.

Forecaster note: This area is outside of the Brighton Ski Resort where there is no avalanche control work. We so much appreciate these reports and don't hesitate to let the Brighton Ski Patrol know as well. Thanks, we really have a great community here that are willing to share their obs! Kobernik

Upper part of the pic is part of the break, can't see all of it though, mid pic is my line to get out of the way
