As we got higher up on the CSR skinner and as the light opened up our views we noticed this sizable slide in the Days Draw area. Looked to have triggered naturually, maybe overnight or yesterday. Our intention was to ski the Draw and pivoted to CSR/Crystal Palace area avoiding the gullies. Hard to guess the size of the crown or the width although both would be consequential if caught in a slide of that size.

Forecaster Comment: We have combined Selena's observation with this one since they are the same avalanche.
