Saw this slide from the ridge across Alexander Basin while skiing Wilson Glade laps. Never got particularly close, but crown was fairly large to be visible from our vantage point and would have been a rather rough ride. Broke deep enough to expose a bunch of whippers where the slab was. Obvious wind loading from earlier this week.
