This incident and photos were reported second hand to the north rockies field team: avalanche remote triggered while skiing on adjacent terrain. This incident points to our persistent weak layer problem which includes the potential for remote triggering a slope above you even if you are in the flats or on mellow terrain. As you can see in the photos the debris crossed many previous sled tracks. We on the team are going to be extra cautious in the comming days avoiding any overhead hazard and big slopes that are 30 degrees or steeper.
