Remote triggered an avalanche, either from person walking on ridgetop or from skier who had finished their run on a short pitch of steep pillows. Deep slab, wide propagation and running through low angle, undulating terrain. We changed our plan for the rest of the day and moved to more supported terrain and had no more signs of instability.
