Comments
Not totally certain this is a sled triggered avalanche, but there were tracks near the bottom of the slope and the debris was still soft. This slope has avalanched earlier this season and interesting to find faceted, sugary snow still on the bed surface. I was in this area on Thursday just after the storm and I did not see this avalanche.
