Noticed the slide as we skinned up, took about 10 minutes before we were high enough to see the crown. Around that same time we watched the duo from previous argenta obs traverse above this slide and safely ski down. I assume this was a new slide triggered by their avalanche higher up since it was not mentioned in their observation, however we did not notice any signs of their avalanche debris near this one. Unclear when it happened.

18 inch crown, ran ~500 ft down a gully not pictured (estimates from far away)

Forecaster Comments- this may have been triggered or part of the skier triggered avalanche reported from Greaseball.
