Natural that occurred between 10 and 11 am due to heating. The avalanche occurred in an area that has not been skied or mitigated in any way this season. It confirms what we have been finding: where the persistent slab problem exists (more sheltered northeast-north facing slopes), it is still quite reactive. Would expect similar in the next couple days with continued heating.
