Partner and I walked up Lambs to the pc ridgeline. Didn’t notice any cracking or collapsing going up the ridge bordering canyons resort, but observed poor structure above the Forever bowl with wind loading and facets at the ground. Opted to head up Murdock and ride the lower angle north ridge down. About three turns down the ridge, remotely triggered most of the NE bowl to the ground, slow moving but ran through the trees/cliffs.
