Quick report
While riding in Mosquito Creek today we observed a relatively small (roughly 100' wide) avalanche in North Fork Fall Creek from a long distance. Appeared to be natural, but possibly remotely triggered due to the presence of tracks nearby, but not in the immediate vicinity. Only involved the new storm snow. Likely failed on the new snow/old snow interface. No other signs of instability observed.
