Avalanche
The avalanche was triggered today at about 2 or 2:30pm. I cut into the south facing edge of this East facing chute entrance, it broke on the persistent slab, but slid with the nature of a loose, dry slide. No one was caught or buried, I was easily able to ski out of the slide path when it triggered. We would categorize this as an R3 D1.5.
