A man riding with his family triggered an avalanche on Double Hill when he was climbing it. The debris stopped about 5 feet from where his son was parked. No one was caught.
He initially triggered what appears to be a wide wind slab. It then broke at the ground and produced a much larger avalanche.
In the photo you can see a much thinner crown face and the deeper crown.
