We received a couple of photos and reports from groups in Main Bowl today that saw three avalanches that were all remotely triggered at separate times from snowmachiners. Two from along the ridge and one from below.

Three remotely triggered avalanches into main bowl. One on the Widowmaker slide path. These were reported to be 2-4 feet deep at the crown. One 300 feet wide and another around 200 feet wide.
The avalanche lower down in Main Bowl was probably around 600-800' wide. It is really hard to say how deep the avalanche was from so far away, but it was likely a similar depth to the other remotely triggered avalanches also mentioned in this observation.
