I triggered a small loose wet slide about 50' down the Granny Chute on Wolverine Cirque at 11:30am. Was probably at the steepest part. Was knocked off my feet, but only carried about 10 feet. Was able to ski the rest of the way down almost to the Twin Lakes Reservoir without further incident. Warm day and snow that had been quite firm only a few days earlier (5/30) was pretty slushy. Wish I had had the presence of mind to take photos.
