Unintentionally triggered a SS AR R3 D2 2/3 of the way down a chute in the southern part of the Doughnut falls area. Initially was 50ft wide storm snow/old snow interface. Stepped down to 1' deep at top of runout zone. Snow was very saturated and wet where triggered. Unsure what layer slide stepped down to?
Forecaster note: hard to characterize, probably a mix of a wet sluff triggering a storm slab or wet slab
