As we skied the ridge of the prominent slope just southwest of the Boss Canyon warming hut, we remotely triggered this avalanche from above. It broke on the interface between the storm snow and old snow. We were surprised to see that nearly the entire hill slid since the terrain is broken up by many bands of rock. We observed many collapses and cracks as well this morning.
