Avalanche
Rider began in tracks of previous rider, and then took alternate route around prominent rock, and then cut under the rock across the whole chute to above the “crumb hold” shallower part of the slope, where a turn later triggered, and propagated up hill of the rider. The rider was able to stay on top of the snow as they were carried down, and were able to self rescue once the slide came to a stop.
