Comments
I descended the run without incident and turned around to wait for a buddy behind a tree. The slow moving slab avalanche picked up speed and rolled past me. Pretty small but definitely failed on the pwl. Things are seeming stable now out there so watch out for tricky slab avalanches and consider consequences before attempting big terrain
