A group of 4 snowmobilers crossing a creek/ runout zone below tree line remote triggered an avalanche 400m above in an alpine start zone. The crown propagated across the entire ridge top and the avalanche ran full path. Our group skirted the runout as we traveled to minimize exposure. 1 rider was partially buried and was able to self rescue.
