On our first lap, we traversed the lower portion of the southeast ridge attempting to find our skin track from the am. We dropped around a blind corner and two in our party loaded a slope with a convexity. Roughly 30-35 deg. The weight of the second triggered a collapse, and a soft storm slab released. Crown was ~ 2-2.5 ft deep and 200’ wide. The debris ran ~200 ft. Both people were caught and carried but fortunately no burials/ injuries.
