Avalanche broke loose on the sun crust formed since the last good snow 2 weeks ago. Pretty small. Broke as the first person in a party of 3 was approaching the slope.
Forecaster Comments: Kobernik and I triggered a similar slide today near Rocky Point with similar dimensions; produced an impressive dust cloud for being so small...However, have not seen any sun crusts on northerly terrain at that elevation.
