Loking at the tracks (downhill and traversing into dip below) and the people, you get such a good sense of scale here. It's terribly sobering to think how such a small-looking and not deep-looking section of snow, relatively speaking, can have had such fatal results.
Was it those on the slope or those in the dip who were caught, do we know?

They were part of a five person group. They had each gone down individually. It was as the last person started down the slope that they triggered the slide. The last photo shows the quantity of snow well. As a full depth slide (a number of which are visible in the area at present) the weight of snow would have been substantial.

The terrain (trap) was also obviously a key factor too
