Subject: Snodgrass tour
Aspect: East
Elevation: 10, 192
Avalanches:
We observed a small slide in Abby Lane below the convex roll (photo attached) this slide was not there during our skin up. The skin track was to the skiers left of the slide. It seems that this slide was remotely triggered by the group in front of us.
The slide was on a convex aspect of the slope that was much shallower and steeper (38 degrees) than the rest of the slope. It seemed to be in a cross loaded area.
