"Slot Machine" entrances both slid. The slabs were ~4" deep and appeared to be in the new snow that fell 12/27 afternoon. I skied skiers right entrance after first group and triggered a piece of hangfire which, while small, picked up momentum very quickly and almost swept me off my feet. My guess is storm/wind loading in the tops of these gullies.Observed Avalanches
