Avalanche

Saw a wind slab that propagated a lot further than I expected today. Not sure when it ripped out, I'm guessing yesterday. I've skied up in the Sky Pilot area 3 of the last 4 days and this was the only evidence of activity beyond loose sluffs. This steep pitch is in a unique and undoubtedly very windy location at the head of the drainage. It's possible it was intentionally triggered from the top, but nobody else reported it, so figured I'd mention.
