<p>Lots of settlements on uptack. Avoided exposure to overhead hazard due to fear of triggering an avalanche from below (toe triggering) . Skier remote triggered size 2.5 avalanche in alpine from 250m away in what looked like the "best" ski terrain. Easily triggered cornices at ridge top. Photos taken from remote trigger point!</p>
