Avalanche

Triggered a small slab on the boot-pack traverse into Million Dollar Couloir. 20cm windslab then sympathetically triggered a much larger slab further down slope. Crown ranged from 20cm to +180cm but with dangerous access and limited visibility we didn't examine further. Suspect a combination of sun warming, wind slab and persistent deep layer all played factors (slide ran to ground in sections of the path).
