Notes
From obs, "We observed another smaller natural avalanche on an exposed ridge below Miller Mtn, this looks to have been about 12in deep and probably occurred on the same layer as a larger natural avalanche. Both were on N or NNW facing slopes in areas with heavy wind deposition."
We believe this was a skier triggered avalanche on 3/2
