Avalanche

It was our second day in the same zone, riding in relatively well supported slopes. Triggered a small slide on a clear patch of forest. Carried one of our party into a tree and partially buried. Did not propagate down the rest of the slope. It was warmer than the previous day and it seemed like the storm snow had formed a more cohesive slab which was prone to triggering.
