We headed up towards purple knob on Sunday, leaving car around 8:30. Travel up was as to be expected - early season bushwhack. Once we broke through into the clearing we noticed that 2/3 of the major slide paths had slid (left and middle path - lookers). We guessed in the last 24 hrs due to minimal snow covering debris. We continued up drainage on far left reaching the fire road, chose a tough travel route up and right from there gaining the Weather station. We travelled back N towards the top of the slide path ridge which was scoured. Stomped/ ski cut above and towards a heavily windloaded gully, remote triggered (few meters away from crown) a size 2-2.5 avy down the gully travelling towards the fire road E. See pictures attached. Stay safe folks!
