We reached the ridge at 3800 feet. We skied one at a time, down the top 100 feet of 35+ onto 30 degree lower slopes. A D2 persistent slab avalanche released about 40cm down on the fourth skier and carried him about 600 feet downslope, though cornice blocks from an old avalanche. He was not buried, and not hurt. We found all of his gear. \r\n\r\nIt appeared I did everything right: lengthy trip briefing, practiced rescue that morning, spread out, dug a pit on that slope, stopped beyond the runout, everyone was spotting, picked appropriate terrain (no red flags, moderate danger for a persistent problem that was questionably still existent), ski cut the slope, blah, blah, blah....\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;\"\u003E1. Be more meticulous about pits. I missed the weak layer in the pit before the avalanche, and only found the weak layer on the second crown profile test\r\n2. Ask myself if I'm pushing it that extra bit for me, or for the clients. When it comes to avoiding avalanches, both should be low priority. I'd been within several hundred feet of this pass several times, and I wanted to get there really badly. The clients would have been satisfied stopping lower. \r\n3. Thin surface hoar layers are really sneaky. Surface hoar may not be visible in pit walls. ECT results would be easier to observe on a slope were the failure is offset on the failed weak layer. For interest, I'm now bringing a small loop so I can see if these thin weak layers are surface hoar or stellars. Why is surface hoar persistent? Is it a more stable crystal form than stellars? \r\n4. Surface hoar avalanches can propagate onto low angle slopes and run fast. 80% of the starting zone was about 30 degrees. And the avalanche moved fast. \r\n5. My second ski cut ended in the start zone. I need to make sure my ski cuts stop in a safer zone, not potential start zones. \r\n6. It's worth it to taking extra safety measures with clients: dig pits, practice rescue, etc, both to increase safety but also to show them I'm safety focussed. \r\n7. Having good runouts is the difference between a ride or death. Except for the old cornice blocks, this runout was ideal. Consequences are equal to size in determining danger, maybe....\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;\"\u003EBecause it was a very sneaky problem and I can see it happening again.\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, Customer satisfaction, Overconfidence, Personal satisfaction, Pressure to perform (from peers or self)\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;\"\u003E\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;\"\u003EMaritime\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;\"\u003ENo significant change\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;\"\u003ENo significant change\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;\"\u003ESoft 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 -
