Hiking up the ridgeline on Mt. Raymond today we experienced multiple collapses and cracking on the sensitive wind slabs that formed from last nights wind.
The first chute remote triggered from 30' cracking about 30' across but did not slide.
The second chute remote triggered from 50', shooting up the slope, thru the wind slab, and and breaking most of the path, sliding down to bed surface about 400'. The crown varied from 12"-24"
