Avalanche: Turnagain
Location: Tincan Trees (NW aspect)
Started on regular skin track to 2580, on treeline and dropped to NW tree runs. Skinning up towards the Snow Plot, I observed a small soft slab triggered by a rider, it went to little gullies.
On another lap, we got another soft slab that got triggered on a steep rollover, the stuff ran for a little bit, without a big run. A shooting Crack ran from where I was taking a picture of it.
