Naturally triggered slide in the upper reaches of West Bowl on convexity. Maybe 30m wide, 20 cm deep.

Lots of dry loose sluffing on steep slopes, but no skier triggered slab activity. One naturally triggered soft slab observed in the open upper aspects of West Bowl. We kept our laps mostly in the steep old growth next to West Bowl.
