Comments
Small medium slide on Big Bang slid 75ft. Group of 2: First skier triggered 25' soft slab on left side of the chute and skied away safely to the right. Second skier's slough ran over the right side of the slope and triggered another small slab that ran out 40ft. No issues noted in the more shaded areas on the west face of the cirque. No one was injured and everyone skied away safely. Multiple other slides were also reported around the N/NW/NE aspects.
