I observed a smallish glide avalanche occur on the rock slabs lookers left of bonkers while skinning on the other side of the gully at about 8 am this morning. The wind might have overloaded the slab since it was breezy this morning and based on the shape of the crown. The initial slide initiated a couple additional slides further down the rock slab and left a decent sized debris pile at the bottom of the steep rocky area, crossing an existing ski track from the day before.
