See photos. Went out Windy Ridge and dropped above chair 4, but not quite to bowl 4. Steep rollover. Made first ski cut that held. Cautiously skied another turn and avalanche triggered below me and I was carried minimal distance and was able to cut skis into slope quickly and stay above the snow. Probably over a foot deep. Also triggered other avalanches traversing across steep convexities. Was unharmed and not buried.Observed Avalanches
