I did not go into the avalanche field to investigate but it appeared to me that it was the fresh snow with perhaps maybe a thin layer from a previous storm.

No one in my group triggered the avalanche we arrived when the group that triggered it was leaving we were told that it was a young snowmobiler with their group that triggered it. They were playing on that hill it appeared they had a few tracks on the hill before it slid.
