Our group skied a couple laps in the Toledo Bowl/chute environs starting on SE and working our way around to the SW side. Skied a line of dry new snow on a SW aspect around 11:20 and headed back up. Dropped from Flagstaff Peak on a little more due south aspect at around 12:15 and set off multiple 100-200 ft running wet loose sluffs in the new snow. Definitely enough snow to take someone for a ride and could have been bad news in more consequential terrain. Seemed to only entrain the top 3-6 inches of snow. Walking over to Cardiff pass after, we saw several natural wet loose slides start under the S facing cliffs below the Toledo peak. Not noticing as much wet loose on the SE aspects; the snow seemed more consolidated/wind affected.
