Lookers right slide: Slab broke at first turn and ran full slope. Rider (powsurfer) was aware and was able to easily out run the debris. 14" or so deep running about 1000ft.
Lookers left slide: 5" deep or so on an area that had previously slid naturally a day or two prior. Debris funneled into the chute and skier was able to avoid any incident.
Shallow slabs were observed throughout the area triggered by snowmobiles. All were manageable and in predictable areas of loading and slope convexity.
