This avalanche in Beaver Creek is adjacent to where a fatal avalanche incident occurred in the La Sals in 2012. The crown looked fairly crisp, so I can't help but wonder if it is only a couple of days old. This east aspect had another pocket pull out just to the south, and it looked like another pocket had pulled out earlier, but had some snow on it, either from the 1/29/2021 snow, or the dusting we got on 2/3/2021.
