While skiing down a wind swept shoulder we started hearing multiple collapses. Came around the corner of a small convexity and noticed that we had remotely triggered this avalanche on a 28 degree slope. surface hoar

Comments
Surface hoar on the bed surface was 1-2cm feathers. HUGE! Explains why Lambs Canyon has been so reactive since 2/16.
