Observed a natural, hard slab avalanche from afar today with good visibility - located just north of Slader Ridge. The slide was confined to the steep, final rollover within the bottom of the basin - as seen on the photo below. Details on depth, width and length are unknown. However, given the seasonal history of this slope, and its elevation/aspect - this crown was notably deep and likely failed on our January Drought layer. Given recent activity in surrounding areas, this avalanche likely ran 2/18, or 2/19 early AM.
