We noted widespread collapsing of the snow pack all morning. Remotely triggered two sizeable slides in George's Bowl when we were 500 to 600 linear feet in a safe zone below. 300/400 vertical above us. We investigated the crown and it was 2' deep and 33 degree starting zone, with a small steeper section below, maybe 37 to 38 degrees. Avalanche toe was on 28/29 degree slope to the side of our safe zone. The second ran north on the ridgeline on George's with an estimated 3' crown at the ridge a minute or two after the first slide.
