Comments
I'm not sure of the details, since the avalanche was not reported. It probably occurred over the weekend. From the tracks, it looked like a skier triggered and was caught and carried by this relatively small avalanche on this steep drifted north-northeast facing slope.
I observed numerous snowmobile tracks in the area, including some old ones exposed by the slide on the bed surface. Again, judging only by the tracks, the skier most likely was with a party using sleds to access this area.
