Witnessed the debris of recent avalanche. There didn’t not appear to be evidence of a skier trigger but there were many tracks in the area. It’s a small terrain feature but could be evidence of potential for a more dangerous avalanche in bigger terrain. Seems best to avoid recently wind loaded slopes.
