Multiple natural slides noted at the base of Days Draw, apparent storm slabs sliding on new/old interface (see photos). Additionally while traversing the top of Days Draw from Chicken Shit Ridge to Benson & Hedges we noted multiple cornices/wind slabs, one of which we "triggered" though it slid only a few feet (see photos with skier next to slab).
