Quick report

Witnessed a skier-triggered wind slab on Nosehairs from Nosebleeds. Probably a S/SW aspect. Party of three and looked like the skier that triggered the slab escaped to the left, then booted back up to the ridge. Slide failed on the ground surface and ran through the terrain train to the bottom of the valley. As far as we could tell nobody was injured or buried. Evidence of a likely skinner-triggered wind slab in the back of the valley was observed as well.
