Avalanche
Spotted 2 additional areas earlier in the day that appear to have slid towards the end of the storm last weekend. One above a road and the other from a distance. The small avalanche (photo included) was remotely triggered by me on my snowmobile. I was traveling south on a blogging road and saw the small slab move in front of me above the road. I was traveling very slow and had a group of additional riders spaced out behind me. Occurred on an east aspect below treeline and measured the slope at 35 degrees.
