Avalanche

"Went out riding again today up towards Tin Cup pass, no signs of naturals, but a snowmobiler did trigger this slide (see photo) just below tree line on a north facing aspect. It was triggered from about 50 yards away, you can see the tracks on the left of photo. I would guess the slope angle to be 35 degrees, the crown was about 18 inches. The slope looked to be wind affected and thinner coverage."
