Avalanche in LSD couloir. Ran the entire length. Triggered by another party so we don’t know the exact conditions at the point but it appeared to be in an area of significant wind slab. The release was not deep but still ends up being a significant amount of snow. Pay attention to others skiing around you and the choices they make!
