Avalanche

This is in regards to the Dry gulch avalanche reported today. We observed the other party trigger it. They were skiing down. The first person has already gone when the second skier triggered it from below. We went up and measured the crown and it was between 85cm and 100cm. The layers consisted of three separate 1f windslab layers on top of the early October snow (facets and sun crust). The top 10cm was fresh fist hardness snow. The skier triggered the slide in a location that on Saturday you could still see rocks and grass but that was completely covered today.
