While descending the NW ridge of Patsey Marley, the Avalanche remotely triggered about 50 yards behind while riding and released into the bowl area. It looked to run about 150-200' down the slope.
Looking into the bowl area on the ascent, you could see wind that had cross loaded the entire slope from west to east. This occurred around 3pm and no wind was observed at this time.
