Avalanche

~12k feet Southeast Aspect Looked like a wind slab that formed with the new snow, maybe 8-12 inches deep, ran relatively wide. Hard to tell from our position. Did not look large enough to bury someone, but certainly large enough to cause some damage with the terrain and shallow snowpack.
