Notes

From email: "On our way out (from Alex Lowe Peak) we watched two skiers climbing to the top of a gully on the SE face of Blackmore... When I looked up again 5 minutes later, the gully had slid. Luckily, based on their tracks it looks like they triggered it from the top without getting caught and then skied it. The first skier was already at the bottom and the second was on his way down."
