Impressive fast powder cloud ran in front of this slide for the slide's size. I assume this was due to the very low density snow, but maybe a "small" soft slab just looks that scary from below when it goes (I've only seen slides in person from above). The slide itself did not seem to want to bring the snow below it with it.
