Remote triggered a soft slab avalanche while skinning the first switch back on the white pine road after the red pine lake trail junction. I triggered the avalanche from about 100 feet away it ran for about 300 feet. I didn't want to go inspect the crown for safety reasons, but it looked to be about 4 inches deep and 50 feet wide. While this slide was not able to bury a person, it was definitely large enough to take you off your feet while skinning and into a tree well, which could lead to you essentially being "buried".
