Storm snow sluffing easily on slope angle of 35-40degrees. First skier skied without incident and moved off path next to skin track in trees. Second skier ski cut another sluff which triggered wide and deeper(close to ground) most of main carbonate into second carbonate and slide rapidly for 2000' to lower flats. It appeared to be a hard slab with crowns of 2-4'. The slide came to rest on the flats about 600-700 vertical feet above the road.
