Comments
Remotely snowboard triggered slab at 9400' in lower BCC, Northeast facing. Didn't inspect snow interface layer, but assuming it's on old, faceted snow judging by how the slope rode. Snowboarder was 10-15' away when triggered, no collapsing or sound. Ran about 100'. Depth and width are approx.
