Avalanche

Avalanches: One natural D2 avalanche on a NE facing slope of Scarp Ridge that is new since yesterday. In the photo you can see two ski tracks skiers right from the day before that did not trigger the slide. SS-N/AC-R2-D2-O. Estimate the crown is 18″ thick and failed above the 3/22 dust layer(?), maybe cornice triggered.
