Observed this avalanche along the road to Scofield, just before Bolger Reservoir. Mostly likely it came down within the last two days. The slide appeared to start on or just above the depth hoar layer, then stepped down in a small pocket above a rock to a depth just above the ground. As evidenced by the small cornice, this is a wind-loaded slope. Judging by the relatively shallow depth of the slab, I would venture to guess this is a repeater.
