This was one of two human triggered avalanches today in the Hells Canyon Area just outside the Snowbasin Ski Area Boundary.
This was a larger slide that runs into the same drainage as the first slide. This was called in by the party that triggered it and patrol responded but then found the other slide and searched that area knowing the reporting party was not caught in this slide.
Large D 3 running on facets in the lower snowpack.
