I haven’t submitted this till now because I wanted to give the skier a chance to report it.Two of us were watching across the valley as a lone skier triggered a large avalanche. The further picture shows his first set of tracks to the right and his original skin track. He went back up for another run. We saw the avalanche begin after the skier crested. We watched from across the valley preparing to make an emergency call and proceed down to attempt a rescue when we saw him still on the ridge. After about 10 minutes the skier proceeded down the ridge safely and moved up valley.
