Skier triggered avalanche - Hebgen Lake area

Skier triggered avalanche - Hebgen Lake area

This slide was triggered at the same time as several others while hiking along a ridge.  We were about 800 ft away from this part of the slide.  Remotely triggered avalanches like this one are a sign of very unstable conditions.  It broke about 1-1.5 ft deep and ran about 1000 ft vertical.  Photo: GNFAC
