Avalanche

Avalanches: One small slide remotely triggered on a east facing slope. A couple steps into walking up this slope my partner triggered this slide from about 20 feet away. It was very quiet I didn’t hear anything move at the time. One crack extended from the crown back toward the trigger point. The bed surface was a convex roll with some exposed rock.
