Observation Details

Was out playing in our big backyard, skiing some steep aspects. We first triggered a 20ft storm slab above the waterfalls. The second slide was a well executed ski cut to get to safety performed from the tree island at the base of 1's waterfall to tight tight skiers left wood-line of slide 3 to ski cut that slope. The ski cut triggered a storm slab which then remotely triggered a slide underneath slide 1 waterfalls and running the course of the bottom of slides 1 & 2. This ski cut definitely triggered a slide bigger than expected. This was done so we could get to slide out and off the waterfalls//island. All skier triggered. We sought out our level of risk, do not let our actions influence your decisions.
