Ski tourers on the ridge remotely triggered the entire slope below them, the avalanche started on immediate ridgetop on Feb 19 FC and then stepped down to Feb 2nd Crust. It ran full path pulling some mature timber with it. The depth of crowns varied from the initial 60-80 cm to 150 cm on some of the features.
