This is the north facing slope where the accident occurred on Nov 14.  The red arrow indicates the skiers location when the slope avalanched.  The yellow arrows are each flank of the avalanche.  The purple arrow is the avalanche that released sympathetically to the first one.

This is above where the skiers were caught.  This is less then 1/4 of the size of the avalanche.

This is the average size of the crown face. 

This is looking back down what is left of the skin track from about where the person breaking the trail was located.  The stars indicate approximate locations of the other two skiers.
