Quick report
We were a group of 4 riders making our way up Palmer creek and we remote triggered a slide on a north facing slope that was probably no more than 25 degrees. The crown was at least 48" and the pile of snow at the bottom was 8-10'. This was a slow and low energy slide however it would have easily buried a rider if they were caught in it. The slope appeared to be very wind loaded and due to the low elevation probably had a crust layer from the last warming event we had last week. Wind loaded north west facing slope
