One skier and a snowboarder were on a supported face above me before I dropped in. They gave me about a minute before either cutting or riding it setting off a grade 2 avalanche behind me. I was the third or fourth person down the slope. The sluff was very manageable. Error on my part traversing a bit back toward the cliff at the end.

There was a skier and a snowboard on an unsupported slightly combat slope above me I dropped in. They maybe gave me about a minute before either cutting it or skiing down it setting off a grey to avalanche above me. The snow was good and the stuff was very manageable slight error on my part, traversing back towards the cliff at the end.
