Remote triggered 4 avalanches size 2-2.5, all N.E. aspect 2100m, then rolled into McRae lake and suspect we remote triggered numerous avalanches in here as well (from above). Size 3 ripped majority of lookers right snowboard area and numerous size 2-2.5 below McRae peak runs. We remote triggered ranging from 50-500m away - it was intensely spicy out there today. (On sleds) Slab thickness 40-50cm and failed on remnant SH, breakable crust FC layer. Still some stashes of decent snow in the sheltered trees around 1800-1900m.

We remote triggered several avalanches today - some as close as 50m and some as far as ~500m, it was fairly intense right around mid-day. All on NNE aspects and ranging from 1800-2100m. The propagation in McRae lake was impressive - this one was closer to size 3 and propagated over ~700m across the slope with several other isolated releases near by.
