20-30cm storm slab avalanche with a ~100m wide crown and ~70m runout. The slide appeared to be triggered soon after a small group of snowmobilers traversed down it's west flank. We estimate the slide occured about 30 min before we arrived on site and that the riders who triggered it are likely unaware of the slide.
