Observed a small avalanche that appeared to be remotely triggered by a skier on a steep northwest pitch (41.99435, -111.52293) near Beaver's Envy. This avalanche occured sometime between 10 am 12/2 and 12/3 at 11 am. We observed the avalanche from the beaver creek road but appeared to just the new snow that slid with a crown roughly 15" deep and 30-35' wide. From what we could tell, the party was not carried and skied away unscathed.
