Comments
Off the south south-east facing side of summit peak in summit park my partner and I saw this avalanche on the way back up to the peak after having descended the ridge line above. Hard to tell trigger, there were tracks above. Nothing into the path. Possibly natural. Likely failing on the persistent weak layer the exists on southern aspects. At the distance we saw it from it appeared to be ~1' deep and ~100' wide.
