Was out looking at the natural slide in No Name which occurred yesterday afternoon and taking some photos, this slide also went to the ground on facets and is also a repeater. There was a solo skier doing laps in the bowl, must have come from the Colonies or the Canyons not sure which, he was working on his fourth run when he tickled the wind load in the starting zone a little too much, the slide broke out above him on his 4th turn in, we gave a yell and he skied to the side of it and let it pass. The weak layer was well developed facets on the ground, this same spot has avalanched to the ground multiple time this year. Largest part of the crown was about 3ft deep, and around 80 ft wide at it's widest point, ran to the flats at the bottom.
Photos: Crown, run out, bed surface, and the facets at the ground which it ran on.
