Remote-trigger Avalanches

keith, Friday 30th December, 2022 8:10AM
<p>Submission by the Kokanee Cabin Custodian. I have been very impressed with this self-guided group and their terrain selection this past week. They have been very disciplined by sticking to terrain under 30 degrees and avoiding overhead exposure. Although avalanches have been remotely triggered (50-250m away) almost every day, there have been no involvements. If interested, I also uploaded a video to the Kootenay Avalanche Courses YouTube Channel, further describing yesterday's large avalanches: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTMfxxWAPxAO0YNzwmS1SmA</p>
