Avalanche Information

Observed debris of a sz 2 at treeline on N facing Vantage Ridge. Poor visibility obscured many details but it was only observed on our last run and did not seem to have the HST on it. May have been triggered accidentally (or remoted) by the skiers who followed our uptrack when they skied into less supported terrain more in the center of the main bowl, or it naturaled while cross loading under increasing ENE winds. It is sure other skiers triggered small+shallow soft surface slabs on convex features while riding, but not sure if they triggered the slide which created the debris we observed. In our group, only one productive ski cut while descending.
