Avalanche Information

Jasper Visitor Safety observed what looks like a sz 2 skier accidental or skier remote triggered avalanche on the typical summer approach trail to the north glacier on Mt. Athabasca. The avalanche stepped down to ground and looks like sympathetic released another sz 2 beside it. Two ski track were observed leaving the debris, so we assume everyone made it out ok. If the party involved could call Jasper Dispatch and ask for Visitor Safety we would like to get more details.
