Plenty of whumping and settling on the way up, we played safe but still managed to trigger a smallish slide.

Skiing fairly low incline (just enough to move) and as one in our party was turning around a steep section to go back into the dense trees she saw a crack form and slide but couldn't really see the size due to the angle. The slab slid off the rock and ran maybe 30m, and turned back into fluff.
