Avalanche Information

This slide was triggered by a ski cut at the top of an isolated steeper section of the overall slope. Likely included just the 3/13 storm snow, but I didn’t investigate the running surface to see if it was a previous crust. Multiple intra-storm layers within this slab, visible in the crown surface. Runout tended to spread out the debris, otherwise this might’ve been size 1.5.
