Remote triggered an avalanche from KB Ridge with a collapse event from walking/skiing along the ridge. Propagated perhaps 40 m to a steeper slope going into the avalanche bowl runout zone. visible crown showed that it was all of the new snow. ~2 feet depth. Impressive to see such sensitive remote triggering.
