Avalanche Information

The avalanche in the picture was a natural that occurred around 11am. The winds were moderate from the west and this point release was on a east facing unsupported cliff ban. About an hour later we witnessed a solo skier trigger a size 2 slab near the summit of Jimmy jr. It propagated about 50m and ran about 200m. He was damn lucky to not get pulled into it. The clouds came in and I was unable to get a picture.
