Avalanche
Small avalanche on isolated cliff feature, broke after first skier descended the slope. Remote trigger, skier was about 10 feet away from the slab when it broke. The slide broke in the newer storm snow/wind drifted snow from the intermittent storms of the last few days. R1, D1 Crown was about a foot thick at the thickest part. No other slides occurred even though the group skied similar slopes near this one later in the day. Isolated terrain feature
