Six individual avalanches were triggered at the same time on this ESE facing slope in the Third Yellowmule drainage from low angle terrain about 900 ft away. These are called remotely triggered avalanches. While they are small and none would bury you, they are a major warning sign because they show the ability of weak facets near the ground to fracture over long distances. When we get more snow and wind, we will get more avalanches and bigger avalanches. Photo: GNFAC
