Comments
After skiing from Rocky Point to SW of Lake Catherine we noticed the debris of a previous avalanche on the northern aspect of the slope between Rocky Point and Sunset Peak. The avalanche appeared to be a D1. The partially wind filled tracks and somewhat wind filled debris suggests this might have been human triggered, probably on 12-Feb. Depth and width are estimates.
