This photo was taken by the party that reported the Wilson Glade avalanche so I'm adding it to this avalanche observation. It appears to be in Wilson Fork along to ridge to Wilson Peak. This uptrack was originally put in by forecaster Drew Hardesty and he did not trigger any avalanches at the time, so it occurred afterwards. Perhaps it was remotely triggered by another party or perhaps it was a natural.
