Small soft slab avalanche on the East face of Reynolds. Possibly skier triggered, we got there long after it happened so it's hard to say. Clearly took out multiple existing tracks. The most interesting part was seeing the willingness of multiple groups to continue tracking up the rest of the slope despite the obvious avalanche right there. None of them triggered anything, possibly because the snow had had some time to stabilize since this slide. We skiied Reynold's Glades- way fewer tracks & the pow was just as good, if not better.
