Comments
Witnessed a rider trigger multiple avalanches in Atomic Fireball today. Two smaller wind slab pockets followed by a smaller soft slab towards the bottom likely on the old snow surface from before this most recent storm. Tracks from a different party can be seen from traversing the slope a minute earlier.
