Avalanche

Small soft slab sliding on rock and facets. Storm slab triggered by stomping just above the rock band. 6 in. deep, by 8 ft wide, 35 ft vertical, and composed entirely of storm snow. I triggered three of these types of slides within 30 ft of each other. Would have been a very uncomfortable and rocky ride to the bottom, had I slipped or been caught from above.
