Avalanche Description:
I was on the road then skiing E, SE slopes, so the only collapsing, cracking was when we approached that steep NE slope. ENE slope, below treeline, a little steeper than 30° Crown about 45 cm tall, about 20 meters across, ran the length of the slope, about 40 meters. Remote triggered (by me, riding) from a ENE slope about 10 meters away. Ran on NSFacets. Shallow snowpack, about 1 meter deep.
