Clear, sunny.

Snowpack

Snow was setup and glazed over from recent warm weather. There were no tracks where the slide happened, but several recent tracks nearby on slope.

Avalanche

First rider went up and around just shy of where the Avalanche propagated from. Second rider side hilled up from the right when the slide broke well above. First rider was clear prior to the slide breaking and second rider was able to turn down and ride down along side the slide. Slide broke about 2-3' deep, 150' wide.
