Avalanche

SS-AS-r-R2-D2-I I felt a collapse with shooting cracks approximately 30 yards above start zone on a relatively flat slope. I continued down and around the corner and saw the slide. The slide was mostly storm snow but had stepped down to the ground in places. Crown height was 6-18 inches. Many smaller and similar avalanches were noted throughout the route and were extremely easy to trigger.
