Avalanche

Avalanches: A member of our group triggered a small slide (D1) in a steep area above seven bowl that has not seen much traffic. The slope was a NE aspect, the crown seemed to fracture on the 12/10 interface. Human factors: Our group got a bit spread out looking for fresh turns, a couple members that did not know the area well ended up in a steep area above seven bowl and triggered a small slide that ran into trees.
