Noted this avalanche just before the Soapstone trailhead on the south side up the road below some rocky benches. It looks like it failed in the new snow and broke down to an older weak layer. In the past we have noted these cold, sheltered low elevations slopes harboring weaker snow than other areas, I would suspect it broke on that.
