As I was hiking up Sunburst ridge I looked out Taylor pass to see a D2 avalanche. I didn't get close to it or talk to the people that were near by when it occurred. But it looked like a poorly bonded wind transported snow that was remote triggered by the skiers as they made their way up the slope.
Mostly cloudy. Sustained winds south 5-10 gusting to 15.
