Comments
Avalanche happened around 1 pm. It wasn't there when we rode by earlier in the day, but we noticed it from above and down the ridge when coming back that direction. Right around the time that the snow was starting to setup from a little bit of sunshine.
Lots of snowmobile traffic's during the daytime, and several skier skin tracks.
