Avalanche

North slope of East-West Ridge that runs to Proposal Peak on the Southern boarder of Minnehaha Basin. You can see the snow machine track that goes up the center of the valley past the cabins. As the machine turned around on the upper end of the loop we heard a crack and the two slides slid "slowly" down the slope. Release line looks several feet deep and the area pretty large. Remote trigger from some distance away. 100 yards or more.
