Incident

Comment
<p>Came down the ridge from north Queest and dropped into skiers left trees. Came across an open chute and did a couple ski cuts to test stability. Everything seemed alright. 2 members of the party skied down one at a time with no issues and cut skiers right from chute into trees. 3 member of party continued down chute and triggered avalanche. Skier went for a ride and was able to grab onto a tree below without injury. Estimated size 1.5</p>
