Triggered a 4-inch 50 foot wide soft wind slab in a cross-loaded section in west facing Wolverine Chutes. New sensitive wind loaded pocket fractured about 4" down with a ski cut. No photos due to flat light. Removed the top layer of snow from most of the chute and left a soft bed surface beneath. No people caught or carried.
