Snow in trees near upper part of Narao Shoulder was no very supportive and didn’t ski especially well particularly on the more NW
Avalanche
Size 1 trigger by a party of 2 at the top of the bench on Narao Shoulder. Party was spaced out well and was travelling on a concave supported slope. Shoulder is generally wind scoured but party was crossing towards treed slope that was likely wind loaded in the lee of the forest. No injuries. Party was apparently buried waist deep and self extricated.
