Avalanche: Suicide Chute "Shane's Chute"

While topping out on Suicide chute, the cornice and wind slab beneath it released, sending soft chunks down the slope and taking with it the new storm snow for the majority of the width of the chute. The slide ran the entire length of Suicide and stopped about 75-100 feet after the start of the Superior apron. Even though winds were well behaved on the apron and during the majority of the ascent, they were blowing fairly hard at the very top. The top 10 feet of the chute had a significantly slicker crust beneath the new snow than what we had encountered for the majority of the climb, making it difficult for us to set steps near the top. Given the slick crust at the top, its apparent the wind slab didn't need too much provocation to get moving. Photos, which aren't the best quality, show part of the crown and then down the chute where you can see some remaining chunks left behind.
