We suspected it would slide due to avalanche conditions and location. I would consider it a Sledder caused remote activation. One rider was low in the trees with the other two observing from a distance. When it went. No one was caught in the slide. As we were digging a sled out we had the womp sound and the snow collapsed all around us. This was before the actual avalanche on the way up.
