Second skier dropping into the Maybird apron on skier's right disturbed a wind pillow and initiated a crack that propagated over 100' to the left and then triggered a hard slab 100' above it. First skier was spotting and alerted second skier of the avalanche. Both skiers turned into the woods on skiers right and were unharmed.
We finished our run and investigated more closely on our second lap. A 2' deep blocky hard slab ran on a combination of buried surface hoar and graupel.
