I was on the road then skiing E, SE slopes, so the only collapsing, cracking was when we approached that steep NE slope.
ENE slope, below treeline, a little steeper than 30°
Crown about 45 cm tall, about 20 meters across, ran the length of the slope, about 40 meters.
Remote triggered (by me, riding) from a ENE slope about 10 meters away.
Ran on NSFacets. Shallow snowpack, about 1 meter deep.
