Good AVY video on Teton AT was created by Scotsman
Saw this on TetonAT and I thought it a really good one as it shows 4 people skiing same slope and the avy goes on the 5 th person. Good reminder that just because the slope has been skied doesn't mean it's safe and that instability can be so localized. Obviously his fall was enough to impart the necessary force to get it to release.

I saw this elsewhere and one of the persons who was on-scene at the time pointed out the fractures surrounding another slab at 2:45 - although this slab didn't release from the slope ( it looks relatively flat in the video. ) Not sure I would have chosen this line in these conditions but I've made my share of stupid choices so who knows.

No dogs, no air, no cornice drops, don't fall and staight line everything( sometimes in conflict with don't fall) or stay in the resort and be the thousandth skier on the slope( safety in numbers) Its interesting that the slab stopped at the other tracks. Looked like a huge rutschblock.

It has, but for folks that haven't seen it, it's definitely worth bringing it up again
