Multiple remote triggers along the ridge, starting as we just about topped out. Two small d1 5-8 inches deep in the storm snow around the skin track. Noticed larger ones in the distance along the ridge as we continued to ascend that I would assume were from us as well. On our second lap we noticed we had remote trigged a much larger d1 on our descent that entrained enough snow to bury or injure you terminating in the trees below. It also took out part of our skin track.
