Two riders noticed a recent natural avalanche that they wanted to get a closer look at. They rode to where they could view it. When they stopped, they watched two more avalanches release on two adjacent slopes some distance away. There is little doubt that they collapsed the buried weak snow when they came to a stop which in turn continued to collapse up onto the steep slopes.
