Avalanche

Touring out along Ditch road on Brush Creek and remote triggered slide from bottom. Crown at approximately 35 degrees and ran maybe 300-400 feet. The terrain turned low angle fairly quickly, lost energy and dissipated though did cross the trail. Did not investigate farther but was all new snow that ran on crust prior to storm that were very shallow above the sage. The slide sympathetically triggered a small pocket one ridge over as well.
