Avalanche

Observed a skiier-triggered avalanche on an east-facing slope at 8924'. The avalanche occurred on a steep, rocky rollover just north of the east ridge of peak 9433 (43.89076, -114.70608). No one was caught. The skiers who triggered the slide did so from several feet above the slide. Hard to tell from a distance but the crown looked to only be a foot or so thick and maybe 150 feet wide.
