Comments
Skied up on this small avalanche near the beaver backside parking lot. Looks like it started on the steep roll over and propagated across to above the cliff. It went over the cliff and triggered more below, eventually depositing near the trees. Did not see a definitive trigger, but was in a heavily skied area
