Comments
This avalanche had a very crisp fracture line and bed surface making me think it released right at the end of the storm on the 13th. It may have released sympathetically to another avalanche in the next path to the north. I believe that snowmobilers most likely triggered this from the ridge late in the day on the 13th.
