Comments
Was checking out the Cardiac Ridge avalanche from a distance and noticed this avalanche in Cardiac Bowl. There has not been a recently reported avalanche there and no tracks were visible nearby, so I'm assuming it was naturally triggered during the weekend storm. My guess would be wind slab on a new/old or storm interface. Photos below, the second one with the full path of this avalanche outlined in red.
