I was able to remotely trigger a size 2.5 avalanche from 200m away while skinning up the supportive morning crust. The avalanche occurred on the steep east slopes of Burstall Pass Peak, propagated nearly 100m, and was over 1m deep. I also observed other large avalanches initiating on steep easterly terrain with the solar warming. One of these being the east slopes of Tent ridge which failed Size 3 sometime before 1130am. I found the public avalanche forecasts to be accurate, and the avalanche conditions to be very dangerous. Even after nearly a week of warmth and sun we are still observing large natural avalanches on the basal facet layer. I stuck to non avalanche terrain and eliminated any connectivity to overhead hazard.
