Avalanche
R2D1.5 avalanche on a steep, NE facing, cross-loaded slope at around 12k feet. Slope is a repeat offender. Avalanche slide on old facets near ground. Triggered by skier 2 in a party of 4. Skier 2 was caught, but skied out. Skier 1 was standing in the runout taking photos and was able to move before the debris reached him… Skiers 3 & 4 descended an adjacent slope after the slide. Coded in previous observation. https://avalanche.state.co.us/caic/obs/obs_report.php?obs_id=72229
