Avalanches are not very common on this relatively small south facing hill. Reported as "whole slope down to the sagebrush" For scale, you can use a visible snowmobile (headlight) on the ridge near the center of the crown. Rider who triggered this was able to stay on his sled and ride free of the slide.
