Heard settlements all day, got to our transition spot and decided to see if the slope below would go as nobody had been around there since the last storm cycle. Didn't take much, 1 skier did 1 jumps on his skis couple meter from convexity. Mega settlement, slow initiation and release but picked up speed further down the path and entrained adjacent slopes. It remote triggered another couple size 1 up to 100m away. All crowns were ranging from 500cm to 130cm and the bed surface was the Jan 30th MFcr.
