Quick report

Not unanticipated 8" soft slabs released when skiing over east facing convexity above a 37 degree pitch. Slow moving. No one caught or carried. On skin out we observed what appeared to be to a soft slab avalanche on Cody (powder eight). Much wider and longer than what we experienced. No signs of instability other than on skin out when we observed a soft slab avalanche on Cody (powder eight) that had not been there in the morning.
