Avalanche: Hatcher Pass

We skinned into the valley and used the common track to the top of the ridge. At the top of the track we decided to push a bit further towards Hatch peak and ski down from there, we found a good spot to transition and talked about the line we were going to ski. My partner went first and I waited until I could see she was in a safe area on top of the ridge separating the gullies to follow down. I was trying to ski carefully and take my time going down the slope because the line felt much spookier from the drizzle crust. I turned a little too hard and stopped when the avalanche was triggered. I didn't hear a whump but I did hear hiss and that was when the slide occurred, it triggered about 3-4 feet below me and ran into the gulley. I waited until the avalanche had settled and then decided to traverse to skiers left to get down in a hopefully safer zone. I didn't want to stick around too much but the crown looked to be no more than a foot high and the layer that failed on near surface facets. I feel very lucky that my partner was in a safe area and that I was not taken with this slide.
