Remotely triggered D2 skiers left on cabins. We planned to ski the old bed surface from a natural that had released early in the storm cycle. I made one turn on the flank and back to the old bed surface and the slopes 400 feet away released triggered more slabs to release. Debris was over 10 feet deep. No one was caught or near the slide.
