Reported as triggered by a coyote who narrowly escaped. It appears that the initial slide triggered two lower pockets and perhaps sympathetic'd another pocket to looker's right.
All dimensions are estimates.
Note: Pre-season. Alta ski area is not open to the public and not been doing avalanche work thus far.
