Quick report
While skiing the nisqually chute we didn't see any major signs of instability, no roller balls etc. maybe some wet sluffing. The bottom of the chute was sticky. We were waiting for my party to regroup on a right and saw the avalanche moments after it had released. While the area we were in was safe, we still hurried away from there out of precaution. The center of the chute is still filled with wet loose debris that are maybe a day or two old. The skiers left wall has a lot of refrozen roller balls which made it chunky to ski.

Saw a D1.5 wet slab naturally release after we descended the nisqually chute around 1pm. Seemed naturally triggered with a wide brown and relatively shallow depth.
