We rode 30-32 degree east facing slope off of the back of Kokanee bowl. Then took the south east ridge back to Montana bowl. We skinned up the ridge then switched to boot packing to stay on the ridge and avoid skinning out into the south south east face. We remotely triggered an avalanche. Crown started 5 meters from the group.
