Quick report
South/east slopes had been baking in hot spring sun all day. We observed a number of other parties skiing similar aspect slopes without incident earlier in the day. We observed some natural rollerball/pinwheeling of wet snow but no natural avalanches on SE aspects.

From a distance, it appeared that a skier/rider triggered a wet slab near the top of the ridge. The slide entrained a large amount of snow as it traveled down the gulley.
