- <p>Numerous loud, booming collapses today as well as remotely triggering an avalanche that failed in PWL.</p>
Cruised PC ridgeline today above the Monitors, Radar Love, No Name. No surprises as collapses and cracking continues. We remotely triggered an avalanche from lower-angled terrain while descending the gentle ridge separating No Name and No No Name (we called it "Non Name") - this was submitted in a separate avalanche observation. What was worthwhile for us was this occurred at 9200' which is in the mid-elevation band of the danger rose for the Salt Lake mountains. After descending the bed surface, we ascended a lower-angled, E-facing slope (~25 degrees) and got a loud collapse and crack, but the slope didn't slide as it wasn't steep enough. Had this slope been steeper, it would have also easily slid.

Still finding soft snow on all but due south.
