On our second ascent we saw 2 dry loose sloughs and a 8in storm slab avalanche that would be classified as a D1 but due to the trees that caught the debris (terrain trap) it piled up 3 feet deep (could have buried a human). Our best guess is that it was remotely triggered by my partner on his first lap. No other instabilities noted in Pittsburg Rollers.
