Photo in reference to Ed Grote's report included in the 12/5/16 advisory. 2 natural slides on right side of photo and 1 skier triggered in leftmost red circle. Skier triggered slide was a small pocket of soft wind slab, approx. 3 m across and ran about 50 ft. The soft wind slab causing all 3 slides was deposited on the leeward side (skier's left) of small rock outcroppings. No other signs of snow instability were observed.
