I was standing near the Alta Lodge and noticed a skier about to drop in Eagle's Nest. The bowl below the nest had multiple natural slides. The skier dropped in made 5 or 6 turns. The slide began where the skier dropped in and was slow moving to start. As the slide progressed it picked up speed and widened. The skier seemed unaware he/she had triggered the slide and was lucky it was slow moving, but it came dangerously close to catching the skier.
