Significant Whumfing and settling on lower angle slopes and ridge top. Slide was triggered by the 3rd turn of the skier as they turned over a burried rock. audible settling and shooting cracks were seen and the skier was able to navigate out of the slide path. The slide ran approximately 150 feet into a line of trees stopped. The slide wiped the slope to mostly bare ground with only a small amount of old snow still present. No one was carried or injured from the party.
