Had a great day touring the gorge. Didn’t see much any evidence of recent avalanche and the conditions were great. Was reviewing some GoPro footage and discovered I triggered a small size 1. Didn’t notice at the time of riding. Broke right below me as I was making a turn but rode over it and continued down the slope toward my riding partners. When I regrouped I noticed a bit of slough coming down but no significant debris.
