The picture was right from the parking lot at 17km, you can see the mini crowns from the most recent snowfall sluffing/slabbing off. Stuck to mellower slopes and trees

Avalanche

Went towards the edge to take a look at the north bowl from the subpeak of Queest Mtn. Just at the start of the slope, I managed to remote trigger the most recent storm snow, which stepped down to the previous storm layer. Started small, but managed to entrain a fair bit of snow. Wish I took a picture or video, but I was too busy stepping away from that slope!
