Avalanche

Evidence of a skier triggered WS R2D2 that may have occurred a day or two prior to our observation. Slope Angle approx 32º. It appears that the skier may have triggered the slide after dropping off the old crown from the Christmas slide (see picture). Tracks indicate the skier exited the path safely to the left of the slide and boot packed back up to the ridge above. SSE Aspect of Alberta's Cousin's bowl 11,300
