Witnessed at 10:00 am this morning. A small trickle of dry loose initiated by warming triggered this slab avalanche. The upper crown is estimated to be ~2' deep, likely running on crust. The avalanche happened while the modern common poor travel practices and decision-making took place on S. Face Superior.
