Comments
Remotely triggered a nice soft slab from around 50' away and on a ridge-top. I can't say we were surprised after triggering numerous shooting cracks, some from a distance.... Sensitive conditions, and the avalanche ran further and faster than I might have expected...
Comments
Triggered this cracking from about 30' away in the Hunter's Cave Area.
Comments
The entrance of Hunter's Cave shows the productive snowfalls from November and December in an overhanging stack of obvious layers........
