Comments
First skier down Peggy Days. I triggered a loose snow/sluff avalanche near the top, carried a little but was able to stay on my feet and ski to a safe spot. Perhaps 10 inches of new non-cohesive snow slid and ran at least 800 feet through the first set of chokes. The slide did not break into any lower layers.
