Comments
Skier-triggered avalanche in closed terrain at PCMR. My guess is it happened today but I'm not entirely sure.
Looks like whoever triggered it could ski out of the slide - the skin track goes up looker's left, tracks come out onto the slope, and then track comes out on looker's right.
Looks to have run on the dust surface mentioned in several recent reports.
Pictures are very blurry, sorry.
