We saw a lot of instability on skin in. Travel was difficult with feet of new snow. We skied low-angle terrain, under 30 degrees. At the end of first run through a burn, a skier triggered the avalanche 30 feet from last turn at the bottom. The angle at site was 35-45 degree and ended in creek. We also noticed other recent slides nearby, on SE aspects (see photos).
