My buddy sent me pics of the skier triggered slide of the NW facing slope under Dromedary Peak thought the pics might be pertinent for info. No one caught or carried but still some skeletons in the closet. I was in Mineral today so I'll leave the specifics to the people involved.
Forecaster: Estimated elevation of 10,300', reported to have been triggered by second person skiing down, after a few turns. They skied out to the side. Unknown weak layer - would guess it could have failed on the January facets. Estimated to be about 40' wide at the top, widening to 100'. The party also noted collapsing and cracking on the way up in some of the shallower, rocky areas.
