Came across this small avalanche triggered by a party just before us. It wasn't very big but was interesting for two reasons. It was well off the ridgelines, just above the typical skinner to East Bowl so sort of a less typical place to expect wind loading. The bed surface appeared to be a firm sun crust from previous warm weather.
