Noticed this avalanche on Highline in Mineral Fork on the steeper slope to the right of the uphill traveler ascending the typically ridgeline to the top of Highline. We did notice ski tracks down the ridgeline adjacent to the slide, so unsure if this was a natural avalanche or remotely-triggered by the party. (If a member of the party traveling on this slope remotely-triggered this slide, please email me at [email protected])
Dimensions are estimated. The slope was likely wind-loaded as the ridgeline above was corniced.
