I was riding the Quicksilver Gondola back towards PC base yesterday afternoon 3/16 around 3pm and noticed in poor light what appeared to be an avalanche on the skier's R side of No Name Bowl. The gondola window was difficult to see through but I swore I saw a track exit the debris and continue down the skier's L flank of the avalanche. Maybe they intentionally triggered a cornice and then skied the debris, or maybe they got caught but were able to exit stage L. Either way, didn't see it reported by this morning so I figured I'd add to the database. All characteristic data are my best guesses.
