Observed this avalanche on the ski out from Bonney Moraines around 15:00, it was not there on the ski in at 0845. Suspect skier triggered as there was at least one ski track near the top on the slab and also on the bed surface lower down. Another member of the public skiing out said they saw people skinning up the terrain earlier in the day before the avalanche occured.
