Forecaster notes from groups in the area: The avalanche was triggered while veering off the common skin track to do a stability test en-route to Sunburst ridge. Slab was around 140 ft wide, 100 feet long and 1-2' thick. It was on a lower West aspect on Sunburst around 2,000' in elevation. Weak layer was described as a 'hard faceted layer'. No one was caught.
