Comments
Observed from Shames T-bar immediately after trigger. Trigger appeared to be from weakness and warming at exposed rocks. Warming from -6 up to 3 degrees over last 3hrs. Multiple observers. Multiple small loose wet sluffs beginning off of exposed rocks on various slopes leading up to trigger. Avalanche was not wet and had powder cloud.
