We had a big group and were on a generally-east facing but with north and south-facing aspects that was getting pretty good mid-day heat. Snowboarder traversed out to get a more-open line than the bushy gully and triggered the small wet slab with the board. Not big enough to bury anybody but moving steadily enough to plow someone into aspens.
I suspect that Monday will have more of the same.
