A Foot of New Snow

put that penny on a gold ring and score a helmet out of respect for the trees downstream (if you don't have one already)

You certainly didn"t overstate the size of the slab you triggered. I thought it was an impressive natural just before I spoke to you after you skied away from the slab. Because the crown angled down along the base of the volcanic plug, we thought it was nearly 500' across the length of the crown and dropped 500 vertical feet. The deposition looked to be 5 to 6' deep even though the avalanche stopped well before the terrain trap at the slope's base. The southern edged of the crown looked to be between 18" and 24" in thickness.

I was surprised you didn't seem more shaken than you were after that one. Glad everything came out OK.

Nice to meet you.
