Snowbasin patrol observed this avalanche on their afternoon sweeps on Sunday April 9 , 2023. This avalanche appears to have tracks in at the top and a potential track out with a skin track back up on the riders left side. This avalanche ran 1.1 miles from line of sight from the ridgetop.
Forecaster Comments: After originally posting this observation as skier triggered based on tracks in and not out. A party that skied this slope the day before checked in with Snowbasin Ski Patrol on Monday April 10th.
They had skied a portion of the slope prior to the avalanche and didn't like it so turned around and skinned back out. That explains the tracks.
Thank you to the party for for checking in with Snowbasin.
