We skied a bowl nearby on the 22nd in the Box Canyon area and noted some snowmobile activity in the area. Now, today, we took notice of this avalanche from across the canyon. We suspect it was triggered by a snowmobiler from below but do not know for sure. This slide is definitely noteworthy because of the mid elevation semi-protected area. I would guess its 3-4' deep and 80' wide.
