4 skiers just completed descent of the slope without issues. 2 convex rolls were noted before we descended. 5 minutes later sledders attempted the ascend the same slope and when one of the sleds hit a convex roll the entire slope propagated a size 2. Lots of loading from storm snow, but this event appears to have stepped down to a deeper weak layer.
