Quick report

Small skier triggered avalanche below Echo Peak / above Angora lakes on NE aspect at approximately 8200', at 1:30pm (photos 1). Appeared to be wind slab or potentially old storm slab that did not bond. The crown displayed two failure layers (photo 2). No cracking or slabby snow observed on these aspects while skiing above on less steep terrain. Another skier-triggered avalanche was observed adjacent to this slide, which appeared to have been triggered today as well (photo 3).
