I was looking at the crown of another avalanche just up the ridge and when I pulled my head out of the hole I noticed that someone had just triggered this slide in the center punch of the bowl. When I got there to look at it the person was gone and there were tracks down the debris. The skiers left side of the bowl had already been skied fairly hard, that being said the skiers left is lower angle and gets way less wind loading than the more northerly part, where the slide was triggered.
