Comments
Spotted what appeared to be a skier triggered avalanche on Tuscarora around 11:30 am Saturday the 15th. Saw the party skiing out the bottom of the bowl (bottom left of photo). Depth is unknown but deep enough to be spotted from the lower ridgeline of 10420. Likely a wind slab courtesy of the string SW winds the night before.
