Comments
Just after we headed up the ridge to Patsey Marley from the cat road I caught a glimpse of a person skiing out of a slide I assume they triggered. It's possible they may submit an observation themselves. This slide was right next to some natural sluffs (shown by arrows in the second photo which was taken before this avalanche happened) and another recent avalanche. So no surprises that this spot also slid given the slope angle and conditions. We only observed the lower portion of the slide so I'm not sure of the full-size.
