Trent and I were walking in a safe location along a ridgeline. When Trent caught up with me we felt the snow collapse, peered over the cornice and saw that we remotely triggered this slide from about 100' away.
Not a huge slide, but the fact that we remotely triggered this from a distance should be the clue that avalanche conditions are less than predictable.
These blocks may not bury you, but they could easily tweak a knee and ruin your day.
