More detailed information about the avalanche: 

I kicked of a small slide on a rollover on the skiers right side of Proletariat Bowl in the Mt. Rose/Tamarack Peak area. It broke on the new snow old snow interface with a crown of 10-12 inches. The bed surface was fairly hard and crusty underneath. The slab was fairly weak in strength and not too wind affected.  We had seen a similar, but naturally caused slide, below a steeper rock outcropping on the skiers right of Broken Glass.
