I spotted this recent avalanche in 3 Terraces Bowl on the east side of Providence Peak. I have no idea when it occurred or what triggered it. Likely a natural, triggered by cornice-fall during the recent warm spell. There were lots of tracks in the area though, so it might have been human triggered.
