Avalanche

Avalanche estimated from viewing it remotely. While skining across the rainbow SE ridge, a point release occured approx 50m below our group on a S aspect convex roll. Likely due to wind slab. Didn't slide very far but looked to fail quite deep based on estimated debris side. Also noticed isolated wumphing on S aspects.
