We toured up from the Center Ridge lot and descended from the Tincan Common uptrack at around 2800 feet. Surface conditions were excellent, about 6″ of low density snow.
Avalanche Details
I triggered a small slide on a small convex rollover. The bed surface was around 30' long and it slid another 30' or so. I didn't notice it happen as I was skiing. My partner trigger a similar slide a few hundred feet lower that was 10'x10' and slid another 15'. Both looked to be about a foot thick.
