First skier was following the ridge, poked onto the steep south face, it fractured, pulled him over and took him for a ride. Unburied, un-hurt. Rumor that a later group followed these tracks and set the whole thing off and were also taken for a ride.
It was warm, snow was ok on the ridge top and the rollover, but as soon as it was more south facing it was obviously too warm.
