Toured up to Bombardment Pass then turned back on a Ram Valley to Peters Creek traverse. Large-area (football field) womphing in multiple areas along the trail steered us to middle of the valley and low angle terrain, then back home. This avalanche was remotely triggered on the northwest side of Cumulous ridge on a north-facing, 30-35 deg slope while skiing on the river about 1/8th mile? away.
