One person in our party got bruised and lost a ski while being dragged down a slide on avalanche crest #3 ish. Started skiing at circa 2220, caught in avalanche at 2150 down to 1950. Multiple small storm slab pockets of 10-20cm triggered here and there by the rest of the group down to around 1950m. Snow felt great otherwise.
