Avalanche Details
Size D2. Looked like the skier was traversing under the rock band and may have been switching from tour to ski when released. Sympathetically released a second slide adjacent to slide.
Events of the day
I was observing from across creek drainage from south side of peak 2, skinning up.
Rescue events
Self rescued. I observed only the head of skier when avalanche came to rest.
