Snow Profile Comments
I did this snow profile a little higher up on the same slope last weekend... I had just triggered a whumpf or collapse. TW. See the observation here: https://utahavalanchecenter.org/observation/81539
Comments
Was riding on top of red pine ridge and we saw this fresh avalanche from across the way, rode over there and did a beacon search thankfully, there was nobody in it. Looks like to us that they were riding on the road and it triggered from the side of the road, my guess is the riders didn't even notice the slide...
