The skier triggered the slab at 2250m on a wind loaded convex skiers right at the top of frequent flyer. After the slide, we skied quickly to the bottom of the chute. We took the time to look and process a quick sweep of the deposit to noticed that the avalanche had stop at 1550m just few meters above the skin track. No one got caught in the avalanche.
