Avalanche
We encountered a recently triggered avalanche on an unsupported convex roll, just above the steep trees/cliffs that separate Puff Daddy and Grizzly West. Observed 2 sets of tracks near crown, the lower of which was right on top of the crown and noted that the same tracks exited the opposite flank so did not initiate a search. Bed surface was stiff. Met the party in the parking lot shortly after and they were ok.
