This was a very small dry loose that occurred on Tele Gold while we were transitioning. The slide ran only about 50-75 feet downhill and involved only a few inches of surface snow. But, enough snow moved that the party below us yelled, "Avalanche!" The slide ran over some existing tracks from that day. This slope was actively being wind-loaded throughout the day.
