Avalanche

Skied knob off wolverine ridge with no signs of instability. Exited vía right shute, was fine up top. Cut out on road to ski a steeper pitch in the trees and encountered skier triggered sluffing to the ground. Not enough to burry someone but plenty to knock you off your feet. Ran approx 30-40ft.
