A party remotely triggered this small wind loaded slope on an exposed upper ridgeline. Party was about 100 feet away and both below and to the side of the slope when it was triggered. Failed on weak near surface facets or surface hoar. This same slope was not reactive to a skier on Tuesday, before the strong winds loaded this slope.
