Supplementary to the other MIN of the chute to note another remote triggered slide along the usual South Douglas access route. Slides were remotely triggered from location photos were taken. First slide was on left of photo and several others wrapped around the bowl in succession. Furthest slide was nearly 1 km away from the initial trigger point. Other natural wind slab avalanches also observed further along in the alpine. Suspect the December crust failure surface in combination with wind slab. These are not typical conditions for our region and extremely electric in the South D area so play it very safe folks!
