We remotely triggered two slides from a couple 100' away. We felt several collapses on the approach and then one big whomph as we approached the ridge and watched the slope slide. It was full depth and ran full path. The second slide was triggered after decending a safe ridge to examine the first slide. We watched it avalanche as well. It was the same aspect on a slightly higher elevation and also ripped full depth and went full slide path. Either would be a nasty ride if you were to take one.
