We went up cornbiscuit from the front side. When going down on the south side my friend after 2-3 turns triggered a fairly large slab which dragged him down, he activated his airbag and got out okish, lost a ski, elbow hurt and we got lucky. When on the top I saw it happen and wanted to go after him ~ 30 sec later I triggered a second one left of me. it did not catch me.
We decided to ski down a other route than going up.
Not needed
We did not hear any or see anything during the day, we did go down another route than going up.
