My partner and I were skinning along the Georges bowl ridgeline. Using normal safety precaution, I kicked a soft windslab along the ridgeline to see if anything would propagate along the slope. The soft slab sitting atop the existing cornice went pretty easily, propagated 50' or so along the convex roll. The minor slab picked up storm sluff, remained at approximately 50' wide and continued down the path. We found later on that the slide had run the majority of the path. It did not appear as though there were any step downs into older slabs.
I did not take photos.
