Avalanche

Saw an avalanche on the east aspect of Keystone Peak just below a convexity. I'm guessing this was around 12,200ft elevation. R2/D1 from the looks of it. The photo was taken a little bit uphill of the Wild Irishman Mine looking towards keystone peak. I did not see the avalanche break. There was a snowmobile riding around in the area so it was hard to tell if it was a natural avalanche or remote trigger.
