Remotely Triggered Avalanche Below Hyalite Peak

Remotely Triggered Avalanche Below Hyalite Peak

My partner and I remotely triggered a persistent slide on an East facing slope at 9350ft. The slide ran off the Evil Twin ridge, just below the large main summer trail bowl of Hyalite Peak. My partner and I were spaced out ~50ft when we both felt and heard a large whumpf. We looked up and saw the avalanche slide, but were both out of harms way from the path. The starting zone was ~400ft above us and the slide ran ~500ft in total length. The crown was just over 2ft deep at its max and 150ft+ wide. The were signs of recent wind loading as we approached the bowl prior to the slide. We did not observe any other avalanches while we were out. Got a couple nice turns in the approach meadows on our way out.
