Almost made it to the ridge and got very thin cracking from a kickturn. Told the guys behind me heads up, waited for them to move away. Took two hard steps and broke off the slab at my feet, landed on bed surface. Slide took out at least four switchbacks and ran to the first little bench. Apologies to the folks behind me, glad everyone was able to get out of the way.
