Friday 1500 I was above tunnel creek creek cabin, gained the ridge observed a group of skiers on top of Planetary. To my amazement they dropped down the ridge toward the dog leg right chute. They regrouped at entrance to dogleg chute deciding not to ski the chute and kept preceding north along the ridge. 150 metres along the ridge they triggered this class 2 avy that looked to be 💯 cm deep 80 metres wide ran 300+ metres. They continued along the ridge where they skied 30* ridge and remotely tiggered another Avalanche 150 metres down less then 20 metres from their tracks. Multiple crowns 60-90cm deep. I watched these skiers for about 2 hours from the trees while doing laps. Based on the condition it was amazing to see people on such exposure for that amount of time trigger two large Avalanches and not be in them or affected by that. Whomever these skiers were they certainly skied on the edge.
