Quick report

No outward signs of instability within the snowpack. Traces of old slides from previous storm cycles. Remote trigger of a large avalanche on the last run. N facing slope, started approx. 8,900ft mid slope at steep roll. Heavily wind affected, wind transporting snow throughout that day. Avalanche was triggered from the side on a ridge and ran approx. 400ft vertical. Not safe to inspect crown, but appears at least 2ft deep, possibly more. No feedback from the snowpack regarding stability status
