I didn't see this slide but one of my partners told me it started just off the ridge and came down a few hundred feet from him. We are certain it was a slab from the winds which were blowing quite hard all day long. This happened on a steep east facing slope and the winds were coming out of the north-northeast so it's worth noting the slide was most likely caused by cross loading as opposed to the more predictable lee loading.
