Ski-cut down the ridge at the top of Main Days just skiers right of a natural slide that occurred at some point during the storm and found it to still be very sensitive propagating surprisingly wide (size 2). The terrain was loaded and ran on a firm crust entraining a good bit of snow. Including the natural slide which this slide crown linked into about 2/3 of the Main Days / Cardiff ridge has slid into Main Days. The slab I triggered was fairly local to ridge level, extending about 50 feet down slope.
Sorry, poor vis. for a worthy photo.
Avalanche activity in steep terrain during the storm was widespread.
