Observed a crisp- looking crown while driving from Jasper to the Robson Valley. Friends who drove out the night before did not notice this avalanche. Runout obscured from view, uncertain run length. Photo taken from the water spring highway pull out above Moose Lake. Looks to be cornice triggered based on the slab propagation to ridge top, but no obvious large cornices missing. Suspect February 3rd bed surface.
