noticed this new small slide in between laps. 1 track going down skiers left side, might not have even noticed. saw another very similar small slide in same area, just 1000' west. Slide was very similar, same elevation, aspect, etc. but slightly larger 50' wide x 1' deep. running 100' vertically. Both crowns was just below exposed rocks/ guestimate 40 degrees.
up grizzly gultch, on the east bowl ridgeline (davenport side) was able to jump on some test slopes was able to pop a few very small wind slabs. the aspect was SW and it was on the ridge. 5-10' cracking was also noted in same areas. no other signs of instability.
up till 3 pm sun started to break out around 1, s facing is getting soggy @ 9000 feet and below. wind appeared to be mostly from se.
