More detailed information about the avalanche: 

As my group was skinning back up Ophir Peak we could see wet slides in the distance below the Ginny Lake cliffs. A ski track is visible left of the left lobe and a traverse track exits the larger right lobe. On the east face of Incline Peak, 2 wet slides were noted on a convex rollover with ski tracks as the trigger.
