Toured up east side of Eldorado Bowl from the main parking lot. Didn’t get any whumpfing or cracking until I gained the ridge line of Skyscraper. Once on the ridge, I remote triggered (~10′ away from skin track) an avalanche in Eldorado Bowl. I proceeded further up the ridge line to check another angle. Dropped in for a ski cut and let loose the second avalanche.

First avalanche was remote triggered, both cut to the bare ground, and both ran the extent of the bowl.

Hollow snowpack. I could easily put my pole straight to the ground without hitting much interference.
8-10" of new snow, sunny and clear.
