Spontaneous release, lookers left aspects of Ricardo's Roll
starting zone mid slope below the rollover
ran 100-150 feet with debris in the small aspens at the bottom of the slope
obscured by active storm snow, so no picture
tracks crossed below the avalanche path, possibly returning from trip down the first meadow chute (?) but no tracks above or out of the avalanche path
