Saw significant remote triggering activity in Sunshine Meadows on countless convex rolls while heading towards Dinosaur Head / Healy seconday drain. Conditions were highly variable - from bottomless facets to P windslab. Must've seen at least 6 occurences of remote triggering which made for a great outdoor classroom for a 10yr old. All occurences were N aspect around 2330m, involved convex rolls, suspect on overnight wind slab, about 6-8in down. Dinosaur Head was bottomless facets higher up, BTL snow quality as actually really good in Healy Secondary Drain and surprisingly supportive back to Healy trail.
