Quick report
At around 3:00pm today I remote triggered a slide in the Tin Can Trees. I stopped on a bench and turned to watch my partner ski and he actually is the one that saw it release. I felt no whumpfs or collapses when it happened nor did we observe any of this during the tour. I was standing on the top of a flat bench and this was about 50' from me down the bench face. It was ~10m wide with a 35-40cm crown. It is a northern aspect at ~2200'.
By this point in the day common bowl had been thoroughly skied. It looked like the storm snow slid on the old snow surface (I did not inspect the crystals but it was shinny and polished). It slid over another set of tracks.
