Crown of avalanche remotely triggered by a skier on Mt. Blackmore.

A skier remotely triggered an avalanche on Mt Blackmore (11/9/22).

From email: "I ski cut the top of the face and remote triggered a hard slab from 50’ above the crown. It broke full width of the couloir feature, 150’ wide and 10-18” deep. Broke on new snow/old snow interface which was another hard wind slab. The avalanche ran the length of the East face and stopped just below the last set of cliffs."
