I noticed this fresh looking avalanche around 12:30 this afternoon 3-5-2012 from the White Pine Saddle... Don't know if it was a natural or triggered by sledders. There are some fresh tracks a little south of the avalanche and there were a few sledders in the area when I noticed it.... It also easily could have been remote triggered or naturally occurred yesterday, during the initial warm up....

Dimensions are best guesses, as the avalanche was pretty far away.... Maybe somebody else has seen it from a bit closer?

I glassed the upper Steam Mill Area yesterday afternoon and didn't notice this avalanche, but the slope was probably shaded at the time, and I may well have missed it...
