Avalanche

Skier triggered sz 1 soft slab couple of turns below Prayer Flags ridge. 30 cms or so deep that was only about 3 m's wide. Ran 25 m's or so into trees below. Skier not affected. Numerous small slabs, naturals, seen in Phazer tree areas from the skin track to PF's at tree line. 10 to 20 cm's thick but propagating out 10 m's or more at times. Mostly on unsupported hanging open areas amongst the trees. Also several sz 1's naturals from last Night perhaps, in the storm below Prayer Flags, that were being covered up in ongoing falling snow. Soft debris. Poor pic shows crown of soft slab in phazer area. Snow below 1000 m's or so got progressively more mushy and wet as the day went on with warming Temps. Only a couple rumbles heard from valley of Doom area.
