At 11 AM we were skinning up to Heart of Darkness on the east facing slope of the north ride of Monte Cristo, we trigged a wind slab (after passing through debris pile from yesterday's north facing slide on Superior). One skier was carried 150' but was able to immediately deploy an airbag pack and was not buried. A second skier was carried about 10-15' and was also not buried.
