Skier triggered soft slab

From an email "...attached photo of a soft slab avy triggered by a partner today.  It was about 4-10" deep, and about 40' wide, and ran about 1000' vert packing a good wallop.  It was on a northerly aspect around 9800'.  Sort of a wind slab/ density inversion kind of scenario.  Triggered by the second person down the slope."  Photo: B.
