Quick report

As we skied down KB's ridge, we observed a crown about two feet deep on the southeast side of the ridge, facing the Claw. We did not see the slide occur but the edges of the crown were crisp, despite strong winds and continued snowfall. Possible remote trigger, with 4-5 tracks down the ridge before us.
