While skinning up powderpark 3 we saw 3 separate wind slabs that I assume was triggered by a skier or snowboarder as there were tracks going into it and below it. I couldn't tell if there were tracks out as my view was obstructed by trees.

We were skinning up to powder park three and saw a someone had skied out on the north-facing side of the terrain trap gully triggering a pocket. Hard to tell width but the crown appeared to be 2+ feet deep at its largest. SS-AS-D1. Couldn't get close enough to inspect the crown. Looked to be new/old snow interface but when we dug a representative quick pit to check we had a sudden collapse at CT6 down 25cm in a density change. We also noted a weak interface 70cm down above the melt/freeze crust from our warm spell. Didn't see to confirm but another party said someone had been caught/carried and partially buried.
