Comments
We came up on this Avalanche at around 11am. We couldn't tell if it was natural or triggered by a sled. There are Sled Trax (see pics below) on both flanks. We think the sledder high marked, triggered the slide, and was able to get down the hill before the debris caught the rider. Or it could have been cornice (fall) triggered from the heat of the day.
