Comments
Heard this avalanche from a ways away and ran over to check it out as we saw the plum of snow. We all wanted to be sure there was no one that had caused it and did a quick transceiver search and lucky no one was caught. There were snowmobile tracks all around this and other spots that had avalanched today.
