Comments
Not sure when avalanche was triggered but it looked like no earlier than yesterday. Possibly triggered by skiers skinning up ridge yesterday as the skin track was closest to the ridge at point of initiation of the avalanche. Interesting how mid-slope unconnected pocket was most likely triggered sympathetically. Can't tell depth but guessing 1.5ft (last two storms snow).
Also attached is picture of avalanche from southeast face of Gobbler.
