Quick report

On the east side of Peters Ridge, close to where Trail 7 crosses the slope; my riding partner and I observed a large, presumably natural avalanche from the past day or two. Crown was 2-4’ in places and propagated an estimated 500 yards. Runout appeared to be mostly dry/loose storm slab. Generally stable snowpack. However we did view evidence of a large, natural avalanche in the past two days.
