Turned back to the first loop brooke pillow run (first path) after hearing and seeing a large 3.5+ avalanche come down from Ross Peak. Skiing was exceptional but by 1 snow was starting to form a storm slab with noticeable movement.

Avalanche

Large 3.5+ of Ross Peak. Couldn't see it until it got to near valley bottom, our group could hear the rumbling of the slide for approx. 45sec. Started in the alpine presumably and continued to near full path.
