From IG message 4/17/24: "Remote trigger up little bear today. Went to the groundish."
From IG: A group of riders noted very wet snow west of Cabin Creek and Southwest of the Taylor Fork. They were sinking to the ground where it was unconsolidated. The group remotely triggered a wet slab avalanche from the ridge top. There were shooting cracks that connected their location to the avalanche. This is an interesting of persistent weak layer and wet snow avalanche problems.

Unintentionally triggered a large cornice collapse on the south face of the Sphinx. I should have expected it, but it was certainly touchier than I was anticipating. Intermittent wind gusts kept upper elevations cooler and we found somewhat cold snow up high. At treeline and below it was hot and crusty! Photos show cornice before and after.
