More detailed information about the avalanche: 

This avy ob is probably outdated and certainly outside of your forecast area, but I thought I'd send it in! We noticed this on Tuesday (2/09), likely occured during the weekend prior. Potential trigger likely a cornice failure. Notice avalanche stepped down to deeper layer in the starting zone. Triggered at 7700', terminated at 7100'.
