We observed the avalanche in the chute, two skiers triggered avalanche probably 6” crown. All appear safe, nobody carried. Later in the day, we climbed left gully and chute. Left gully was wind loaded. On the left side of left gully, a 2-3” layer above a weak layer, above a large slab (12-15”?). We observed the crown in the chute as well as some isolated cracking and collapsing.

Approximate time. I submitted the observation after it happened and we viewed it from below, two skiers triggered avalanche probably 6” crown. All appear safe, nobody carried. But later in the day we climbed both left gully and the chute and saw the crown, as well as some other observations, so we wanted to share some pictures.
