Avalanche
Two point release wet slides, from the first two skiers, who skied completely separately and one at a time under typical protocol. Neither skier caught. Both slides R1D1. Both slides started very slow but rapidly gained speed and impressive volume as they ran down the slope. Larger slide resulted in debris field ~60 ft wide.
