I suspect the party involved in this avalanche will report it, but sharing a photo in case they don't. Just as with yesterday's D1 on SE, we did not witness this avalanche, but came upon the debris and saw what appeared to be one track in and one track out. Guessing this occurred between 8:30, when we were ascending the skin track, and 9 a.m., when friends behind us spotted the debris. These look like two separate avalanches, with one likely sympathetically triggering the other.
