We suspect that it might have been triggered from rockfall or a cornice above the slope and propagated wide. This avalanche may have failed on the basal crust, which we suspect it may need a large trigger, but if triggered will be very large and destructive.</span></p><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_3FE45715">On Friday, two glide slab avalanche releases were reported up to size 2 from north through east aspects at 1600 m and 1900 m. These released to ground in specific geothermal terrain features. On Thursday, a deep persistent slab avalanche was triggered by explosives. This avalanche was a size 2.5 from a northeast aspect in an upper alpine bowl. The avalanche initiated from a shallow, rocky spot with good propagation and failed on the buried crust at the base of the snowpack. This avalanche character is very similar to the human triggered size 3 mentioned below.</span></p><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_3FE45715">Last Saturday, a human triggered size 3 avalanche was reported in the region. This avalanche likely ran on the October crust, as it was reported as a full depth avalanche.
