Ski cut above a small 10-15' wide chute to the north of Chicken SHit Ridge above the Days Draw area. Produced small slide on a north eastern facing aspect. Approximately 1.5' deep by 10 feet wide, ran about 50 feet. Observed another small avalanche about 10k' further to the north along Reed and Benson from before the last little pulse of snow. Noted a good deal of audible collapsing snow while exiting later in the day, when it was warmer and I was in lower terrain.
