After yesterday's remotely triggered slide by a snowmobile, we went to take a look at that avalanche and adjacent slopes. We jumped on the slope immediately to the north and quickly triggered another avalanche on the same layer.
This slide failed on the same layer as the other one - small facets above an ice crust
