At roughly 1:20PM, I watched an avalanche slide off the Hellgate cliffs. Heard from the Wildcat Lift at Alta. I'm guessing on the elevation of the side, as I couldn't see the origin. I assume it was a natural trigger, as the sun was beating down on that slope.

FWIW, rollerball are all over everything I can see from up here today. It is a warm one.
