T I am the skier who remotely triggered this avalanche. I was just a few feet from skier's right side of the slab when it whoompfed very loudly and slid. Unfortunately, I did not stick around to get a photo while I was up there. I wanted to avoid hangfire and possible avalanche on the slope I was on, so I quickly turned around and skied left and down. This was triggered approximately 11:50am Friday morning. Read Morrill's observation HERE.
