Viewed this skier triggered new snow slab just after the skier triggered it. The skier is still standing on the bed surface in the second photo. I don't think he went for a ride, just probably got surprised a bit.
A group of us were just about to go over and ski the same line and most likely one of us would have triggered it. We had already skied the lookers left hand side of the slope. The area where the slide broke is a few degrees steeper and is also a known repeat offender. Knowing that this is a new snow instability issue, we were willing to chance skiing the same line.
Things were much less sensitive again today compared to Friday. The few periods of sun did not heat things enough to make conditions unstable. The biggest concern was still lingering new snow instabilities within the newest snow as demonstrated with this avalanche.
