We decided to walk over to the square top ridge to take a look at the natural slide that occurred on the east face of Square Top. However on our way over we ran across a slide that appeared to be triggered by two skiers on the north east shoulder (aka Square Top sneak). I waited to see if the party would report the slide however it seems they did not. The crown was about 13” deep and failed on top of an old surface hoar layer. SS-S-R3-D2-O
