We saw this small pocket pulled out after a few laps on the Emma's. Unsure if this was skier triggered or natural during the lake effect snow. There is a track above the slide so may have released sympathetically. We noticed a density change about 6-8" down, perhaps from grauple or warming yesterday. This slide may have released on that layer, but we didn't investigate further so hard to say.
Overall excellent skiing today, some long running sloughs and surface cracking but limited propagation.
