Triggered a slide in one of the common chutes on superior's skiers right side a bit before noon. There were lots of tracks from earlier in the AM in the other chutes.
There was no sign of people currently in the area at the time.
The snow broke under my feet and separated easily from what I'm guessing is the interface between Wednesday and Thursday's storms. It wasn't deep enough to be the full storm's snow. It ran for at least 800+ ft.
There had been low clouds in and out during the morning and they were present when I was there.
