Avalanche remote triggered by snowmobile from accross a gully. Pics of distant avalanches were from recent past on east facing slopes at about 2100 m. Most steep slopes had avalanche activity on them. Aspects ranged from nw, n, and ne. Most were size 1 to 2. One had wide propagation. Didn't witness any with long runouts.
