Skier-triggered wet loose slide on a forty degree SE facing slope. 4-6 inches of loose wet snow on top of consolidated base. We also observed some older debris that may have been naturally triggered by rockfall on the Wy’East face. No signs of instability were observed on the way up on other slopes/aspects.
