Sort of surprised to not see this one up yet...NE facing slope in Heaven's Gate area heading back toward Twin Lakes/Brighton from the Patsy ridgeline. Looking across from Brighton, it looked like maybe a natural, but went to get a closer look and left thinking it was triggered by skiers early this morning. There was a track running across the the debris and then some stomping around in the trees to skier's right of the flank. Looked like if they were on the slab when it pulled out, they were able to ride off it to the right hand side....but another repeater running on facets near the ground. Maybe 4-6 inches of wind-blown new snow on the bed surface.
