Quick report

Came upon previously reported avalanche. We we’re expecting to see it below the claw, but found it in the Playboy Chutes, just behind/beyond the claw. Hard to estimate the depth of the crown , seemed to be well over a meter in spots, maybe 5 feet? Debris was buried in at least a foot of snow and accumulating more rapidly. Hope the photos provide a little more context New snow very reactive when skiing steepest pitches. Tree bombs set off multiple sloughs which were able to entrain some snow and carry some speed. Neither tree bomb slough nor ski triggered sloughs were able to carry enough momentum to pass a skier.
