Standing on summer trail/ski track just below Hospital Gully when STS released size 2.5+. Debris flowed down the valley bottom/creek bed but 100m of the ski track and us were were dusted by light snow from the avalanche. A fresh descent trail from up valley which ran well below the up track was buried in the slide. Heard 2 other avalanches, one 20 minutes earlier and another 1.5 hours earlier. Both were much louder than the STS slide, so assume they were bigger but couldn’t see where they came from in the snow and fog.
