Skiing

Crown was 4-6” deep, approximately 30’ across (just shy of the width of the couloir). Ran the length of the couloir (~700’). Layer that slid consisted of new, unconsolidated snow. The slide was skier-triggered, skier stayed on his feet as it ran by them. We dug a pit beforehand on a similar aspect and got ECTPN. New snow concerns matched that of the forecast for today.
