Headed up from Solitude today to see if No Name had avalanched. No Name has the weakest snow I've seen this year, top to bottom facets so I though there might be a good chance. Upon arrival to No Name we could tell that the skiers right side of the bowl had avalanched during the storm but it kinda looked like new snow only. We walked down the ridge to where the bowl wrapped around to east facing and dropped a cornice ( no one was in the area), the cornice triggered a shallow and narrow new snow slide that did not have much energy but when it dribbled down the hill it remotely triggered a pocket way down on the last 100ft of the slope to the ground which intern triggered a larger avalanche in the main bowl. The larger slides crown was about 200ft down off the ridge line, mid slope. The crown was 2 to 3ft deep 150ft wide and went to the dirt, and the debris traveled quite a distance on the flats at the bottom . Could have easily buried a person. Photos Main slide, crown, bed surface, flank and debris, both pockets.
