While ski touring in the Hyalite Creek Drainage today, my ski partner and I both, at separate times of the day, remote triggered sudden collapses. Each time, we felt the snow collapse underneath our feet, and then heard and felt a deep "whumph". The noise came from the North of us both times, where the slope was slightly steeper (still below about 28 degrees-- not colored with "slope angle shading" layer on caltopo. The danger was rated as "moderate" in the Northern Gallatins today, so we were both extremely surprised by these events.

I am also wondering if you have any women on your team, or if you are just "The Avalanche Guys"?

Thanks so much for all that you do.
