Made (what was effectively) a ski cut on the steep ravine at the bottom of Scotty's and triggered a small dry loose slide in the top 3-5 inches of snow. Not large enough to bury a person. Similar slides would not be consequential unless you were in a very bad spot ... for example above exposure or at the bottom of a ravine below a similar slide after it entrains snow.
