"My group did see the rubble of an avalanche on short swing. We did not see it happen. The avalanche was skiers left of the main skin path from the ridge were the small cornice forms. You can access the ridgeline by riding South off the top, and the breaking right about 100 or 150 yards down. With the way the wind was blowing yesterday this NW slope would definitely have been wind loaded. The avalanche appeared to come from the open field on the nw side of the ridge and then it strained through the trees 75 to 150 yards or so. I could not see the crown, only the rubble that came through the trees. There didn't appear to be any parties in the area, and there was a slightly snow covered ski track leaving the slide area.

We did not ride this slope, as we were concerned about wind loading on the north and NW aspects. We were in the aspens inbetween the slope that slid and the main skin path."
