Avalanche

Was transitioning on the cat track and watched a boarder come down the steep face just above the road and stop at the top. A second boarder then came into view further lookers right on a slightly steeper slope, descended, and was caught in a small avalanche. She self extracted without injury. R1 D1, storm slab
