This included assessing the distribution and reactivity of recent wind slabs as well as the likelihood of triggering the persistent weak layers mid-pack. Students ascended on wind scoured ridge line to gain higher alpine zone @3400'. When the first student descended down a 400' small face , he triggered an avalanche but was able to ski off the slab before it carried him. The group descended the uptrack after regrouping. \r\nHere is a description from the student involved: \r\nI skied out onto the slope to assess the amount of wind loading that had occurred and the interface between new and old snow. I approached the slope with the expectation an avalanche could occur. While initiating my first turn I immediately felt a noticeable collapse. I saw shooting cracks approximately 20 feet above me while taking a quick glance up the hill. My partners were standing upslope in a safe location and called out \"Avalanche!\" The slab stayed intact and carrying my speed traversing to the skiers right to exit the path was not difficult.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E \u003Cdiv class=\"row\"\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"col-md-4 text-md-right\"\u003E\u003Cb\u003ELessons learned\u003C\/b\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"col-md-8\" style=\"white-space:pre-line;\"\u003EOn professional avalanche courses, the student groups can travel further and students' experience level adds to the comfortability to seek out data in advanced terrain. Getting bull's eye information for forecasting practice is beneficial, as long as nobody gets surprised by the events. In this case, the group assumed reactive windslabs were there and the first student descending approached with the understanding a slab might be there and he was prepared to escape immediately. Talking through the triggering probability and the direction of escape routes at the top of the run can add to the risk management. \r\n\r\nWe used the avalanche event to discuss the importance of sharing the incident information widely as well as notify in timely manner all the organizations that are connected with the course. This will support the culture of learning from mistakes without shaming or embarrassment. The course provider suggested that we post the event on this near miss database to make a course avalanche involvement transparent. These events can happen on courses. This specific event felt minor, it had no consequences, and we debriefed it well.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E \u003Cdiv class=\"row\"\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"col-md-4 text-md-right\"\u003E\u003Cb\u003ETravel mode\u003C\/b\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"col-md-8\" style=\"white-space:pre-line;\"\u003ESki\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E \u003Cdiv class=\"row\"\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"col-md-4 text-md-right\"\u003E\u003Cb\u003ESeverity of incident\u003C\/b\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"col-md-8\" style=\"white-space:pre-line;\"\u003EMinor\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E \u003Cdiv class=\"row\"\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"col-md-4 text-md-right\"\u003E\u003Cb\u003ECould this happen again?\u003C\/b\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"col-md-8\" style=\"white-space:pre-line;\"\u003EYes\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E \u003Cdiv class=\"row\"\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"col-md-4 text-md-right\"\u003E\u003Cb\u003EWhy or why not?\u003C\/b\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"col-md-8\" style=\"white-space:pre-line;\"\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E \n \u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003C\/div\u003E\n\n\u003Cdiv class=\"panel panel-default\"\u003E\n \u003Cdiv class=\"panel-body\"\u003E\n \u003Cdiv class=\"page-header\"\u003E\u003Ch2\u003EContributing Factors\u003C\/h2\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\n \u003Cdiv class=\"row\"\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"col-md-4 text-md-right\"\u003E\u003Cb\u003EField Team\/Individual\u003C\/b\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"col-md-8\" style=\"white-space:pre-line;\"\u003EComplex snowpack or weather\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E \n \u003Cdiv class=\"row\"\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"col-md-4 text-md-right\"\u003E\u003Cb\u003EOrganization\u003C\/b\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"col-md-8\" style=\"white-space:pre-line;\"\u003EOther: Educational groups\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E \u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003C\/div\u003E\n\n\u003Cdiv class=\"panel panel-default\"\u003E\n \u003Cdiv class=\"panel-body\"\u003E\n \u003Cdiv class=\"page-header\"\u003E\u003Ch2\u003EWeather, Snowpack & Avalanche\u003C\/h2\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n \u003Cdiv class=\"row\"\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"col-md-4 text-md-right\"\u003E\u003Cb\u003ESnow climate\u003C\/b\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"col-md-8\" style=\"white-space:pre-line;\"\u003EOther: Arctic Maritime\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E \u003Cdiv class=\"row\"\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"col-md-4 text-md-right\"\u003E\u003Cb\u003EPrimary weather event\u003C\/b\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"col-md-8\" style=\"white-space:pre-line;\"\u003ELoading winds\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E \u003Cdiv class=\"row\"\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"col-md-4 text-md-right\"\u003E\u003Cb\u003ESecondary weather event\u003C\/b\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"col-md-8\" style=\"white-space:pre-line;\"\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E \u003Cdiv class=\"row\"\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"col-md-4 text-md-right\"\u003E\u003Cb\u003EAvalanches present in the previous 24 hours\u003C\/b\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"col-md-8\" style=\"white-space:pre-line;\"\u003ENo\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E \u003Cdiv class=\"row\"\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"col-md-4 text-md-right\"\u003E\u003Cb\u003EWas this a post-mitigation or assessment release?\u003C\/b\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"col-md-8\" style=\"white-space:pre-line;\"\u003ENone\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E \u003Cdiv class=\"row\"\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"col-md-4 text-md-right\"\u003E\u003Cb\u003EAvalanche problem type\u003C\/b\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"col-md-8\" style=\"white-space:pre-line;\"\u003EPersistent Slab\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E \u003Cdiv class=\"row\"\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"col-md-4 text-md-right\"\u003E\u003Cb\u003EAvalanche type\u003C\/b\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"col-md-8\" style=\"white-space:pre-line;\"\u003EHard Slab\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E \u003Cdiv class=\"row\"\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"col-md-4 text-md-right\"\u003E\u003Cb\u003EAvalanche size -
