Cannot be sure this slide was sled triggered. I was thinking it may have been triggered lower on the slope where the weight of a rider collapsed the weak layer and it propagated uphill? There were some other natural avalanches along this ridge line, but not as deep. It looks like once this slide was moving it broke into old snow near the ground.
