Avalanche

Lat: 39.811298 Lon: -105.792870 E aspect at 11,570' near but just below treeline. slope about 32 deg Rollover near crown possibly R2D1 possibly knocked ya off your skis but that would have been about all. Approximate 18-24" crown width 50' runout 150' Most recent snow was 2 days prior guessing this occurred during that storm. 2 layers visible in the crown top new snow and about 12" slab below it. Saw ski tracks across the top also believe this was the trigger
