Beauty cold smoke little sand day! Still lots of signs of instability out there. Saw a size 1.5-2 natural slab avalanche that occurred at some point in the afternoon. It released on a steep openly treed north facing slope. No photo of this one unfortunately. We remote triggered a slab avalanche on a short steep convex roll from about 70m away. Crown depth was about 80-90cm. Sledder rode into a meadow below and adjacent to the slope and triggered the slide.
