Remotely triggered the persistent slab in NW facing rocky wind-buffed terrain in a lower snowpack than seen up north. We traveled conservatively and triggered this from a NW aspect one Ridgeline across from the crown as seen. The tracks in view did not cause failure. Ran 800-1k probably r3 but hard to tell extent. Multiple skiers and tracks are seen in the more proximal avalanche gullies out of Lake Creek with skiers on ridgelines above. Old avalanche debris seen on similar aspects.
