We came across this skier or snowboarder triggered avalanche just under the rock face in the center of the northwest aspect of the spire. We did not see this avalanche trigger and it did not look like anyone was carried or buried. This avalanche occurred in very similar conditions to other recent observations. On wind loaded slopes under cliffs and rock bands. While this slide did not seem large enough to bury anyone it could definitely take you for a ride.
