I kicked loose a 6"-8" slab of wind deposited snow off of the West Ridge of Patsey Marley. I went to go scout something, decided it was no bueno, then as I traversed back over to a different aspect it popped out under my skis. I didn't see much of it, but I don't believe it ran very far. After dropping back onto the south side Grizzly skin track and circling around, I looked up to try to find debris and couldn't make any out.
