started in the morning with 3-4cm fresh snow at 1300m then 5-6cm at 2400m at Cayoosh pass. As we went down the Cayoosh glacier, I went down a convex slopes entering pretty much straight I did about 10 turns and I heard my friend yelling, I turned around while skiing and saw the avalanche coming very fast to me. I try to speed up and went left, the slope became gentle and avalanche stoped. size was 40m wide and maybe 5 to 10cm thick.
