Ryan Johannessen submitted these photos of a remote triggered slide in Quartz Creek on Feb. 8th. The slide was triggered from above by a sled on the ridge. Ran on the December 29 surface hoar layer with an average crown depth of 50-80cms. Ryan estimated the slide to be a size 3. Nobody was involved.

The CAA has been rating the danger to be moderate in the Purcells with the caveat that if a slide is triggered it will be large. This is a good scary reminder! View more photos here.
