We spotted this shallow but connected avalanche in Depth Hoar Bowl. We were unsure if the party that skied the bowl triggered this avalanche or if it was a natural avalanche that happened sometime yesterday. My guess, if it were a natural, would be it avalanched during the high PI rates during the frontal passage yesterday afternoon.
