We remote triggered this nice Hard Slab avalanche from around 40' away. I was riding the sled on a popular backcountry route and Josh was skiing nearby on our way down for the day..... The avalanche failed and ran on buried persistent weak layers. In part of the crown, the avalanche stepped well below the very hard MLK ice-crust (1/16) running on the surface hoar/ nsf layer buried on 1/8/2011.
