A cohesive layer of snow about 18 inches deep slid roughly 150 feet on a crust layer likely formed during the warm cycle just prior to the recent storm.
As party of two was booting with verts up subridge, they triggered this slab in the adjacent chute. Slab released on new-old snow interface. Fortunately no one was caught or carried. Slide ran several hundred yards
