We triggered this remotely from ridge above, have seen it go before in similar conditions so was expecting this. Failed on old snow from october storms, ran to ground. Would expect a repeat. Also dug a pit 20 min before on similar aspect and noticed widespread collapsing while moving through the lower angle terrain,
