Quick report
we observed no signs of instability from the sled up to around 6500 vert or at a convexity just below the ridge line we observed a small D and a half D one storm slab avalanche. The debris only ran about 20 feet and propagation was only about 20 to 25 feet wide.. Once we saw the avalanche, we turned around and skied down and observed no other signs of instability.

Storm slab with a 8 inch crown. A party in front of us triggered it while skiing about 200 feet below the ridge line on a due south aspect at 6542 feet. Debris pile only slid down about 15 feet, with a propagation of about 20 feet wide, sheer quality looks quite planer
