Skier Tirggered Avalanche on Anderson Ridge

Last week I skied this same line on a lower start with great snow and excellent stability. I felt comfortable going into it with knowledge of the line and watching two riders ski the same zone with great results 25 minutes before. The difference from their line was they had more N aspect and a smaller width slope. The aspect I was on has more East in it and a bigger slope which was taking more heat. I took those elements into consideration and still felt good. Small drop onto the upper face and in my first turn, it let loose. I tried skiing across the slope hitting the brakes to self-arrest, but had too much moving snow above me and to my right where my tips were pointing. My next move was to ski out of it down the fall line and to an island of safety. Once I cleared it and got in front I saw snow moving on my left and not sure how much was behind me so kept the momentum going and skied out to the bottom. 

Looking back I had no bad feeling before dropping in so I didn't go against an indecisive gut feeling. I could have taken more precautions with the increase of temp and solar radiation due to time of day or done more investigation of snowpack on this particular aspect. I'll chalk it up as a big learning experience and thankful for a safe outcome. 

When we started to skin back out on a low angle slope we triggered some whumpfs and turned around since it was near some steeper terrain. We found another even lower angle slope that was not connected to steeper terrain to skin out and also triggered some whumpfs while skinning up that slope.
