I triggered a small sluff/side on the E/SE aspect of iron mt at 8500'. I'd noticed sluffing during the skin but nothing alarming. A hard turn released the slide which I did not feel or observe at the time as I fortunately skied away from its path. When I returned to my skin track I found a section of it in the trees buried to a dept of roughly 4'. It ran on the hard snow layer and probably could have caught me had I happened to turn into it.
