We remotely triggered this avalanche while skinning up the ridge to its east. Cracks propagated at least 100 feet from us, shooting across a lowered angle slope and reached the steeper starting zone where the avalanche occured. The avalanche did not run too far since the slope angle quickly moderated on this particular slope. Crown height and width are estimates.
