Avalanche appears to be triggered by snowboarder on Northeast side of peak 4068. Tracks at top of avi and then come out lookers right at the early part of the debris. We also saw plenty of natural avalanche crown on Nosehair and Pinnacle (see photos).
Just doing a drive by to see the new snow. Only a handful of people out. Lots of wind effects on Archose ridge, Punk spines, and Stairstep.
