Comments
Skinned up through Snowshoe Hill area to gain Point Supreme, worked my way down through some trees on the skier's right side of So Long. Remote triggered the rollover/gully on So Long's right side from a tree row between So Long and Sunset. Wind was transporting snow from skiers left So Long to gullies on right into soft slab. Continued down tree row and noticed next gully over to northeast previously avalanched. It had been snowed on so maybe last night due to steeper slope? I followed a filled-in skinner so maybe skier triggered? Didn't check out the crowns on account of being a bit spooked and hitting rocks. Photos didn't come out due to blowing snow.
