Skiing
Skier triggered slide in a steep, north facing couloir in the Torrey Peak cirque. Triggered with a ski cut, no one was caught. Slide failed on interface between the old snow surface and 4” of consolidated graupel that fell 5/11. Prior to skiing this chute, we had not observed any avalanche activity failing on this same interface.
