Avalanche

Skier triggered size 2 slide in the closest avy chute above Taylor lake. Slide ran from the cliff ridge at the top to just above the lake. Snow was tested and deemed stable, snow conditions quickly changed to unsupported facets while skinning across an open section. Lost a pole, a hat and the comfort to read snow accurately
