Triggered slide in Beaver Creek 1 Jan 2024

Wasn't surprised to see this fresh human triggered slide in Beaver Creek when just around the corner was a previous one in 1st Yellowmule.

Skied Maid of the Mist today. The only avalanches seen were small (<10ft in length) loose snow releases directly below small trees on north facing 35+ degree aspects at 9200 feet. Poor visibility generally limited views to a few hundred yards. A small amount of stiffening from wind was noticed on the snow surface on the way out of the basin, but there was little to no wind effect in the trees on the south side of the Maid. Ski conditions were fantastic.

While touring up a low-angle ridge in the northern Lionhead, I experienced several large collapses, notably one that triggered a cornice fall from 50’ away. Another remote collapse caused about 500’ of an E facing bowl to propagate, but not slide. ~9200’ E-SE
