Small soft slab initiated by a skiier in a party behind mine that dropped earlier near High Greely. Noticed the slide as we came down our line ~9:47am. No one seemed to be caught and if they did, skiied out. Also noticed some similar activity but with a much longer and slightly wider runout on the southeast side of the same hill (pictures taken around ~1:03pm), this one looking more like a natural slide. (Pictures: 1 Greely skiier triggered slide, 2 same skiier triggered picture better zoom, 3 Natural Slide SE aspect, 4 same natural slide better zoom
