Was walking the ridge above Heavens Gate and noticed a windslab that popped out on the cliff band lookers left of Heavens Gate. It was triggered by a skier, looks intentional, but the party of two skied through it after the trigger. The windslab slid out on the Christmas Eve Rain Crust and traveled about 100ft vertical into mellower terrain.
