Small probably-natural avalanche just above the Lake Blanche trail. Probably occurred sometime yesterday or the day before. Not large enough to bury a human in all likelihood, but a good reminder that the Lake Blanche trail, despite its winter popularity, travels on and under avalanche-prone slopes and the conditions should always be evaluated
