After transitioning to bootpacking and going up 10m in the Grand Daddy Couloir, a sluff avalanche fell from the right wall. One skier managed to dodge the avalanche by taking cover over the pillar. The other skier got caught in the avalanche and got dragged to the bottom of the runway. No burial and no serious injuries. Only lost a pole, ski strap and 2 disclocated shoulders.
