Our party of three witnessed a couple of soft slabs this morning just below the ridge line in Two Dogs. One was naturally triggered (or remotely by us, but we didn't notice) and one was triggered by myself while skinning up. Both were in wind loaded areas with rock slabs as part of the bed surface. Neither was very large, but you would have gotten dragged over some rocks on the way down. Abundant, long running sluffing was also noted.
