McGill Main Chute Sz1. First skier entered from the ridge and ski cut across to a stand of trees, then skied further down. Second skier followed the tracks in, triggered the slide, then continued skiing unaware he'd triggered it. Sizable crown however minimal propagation. Weak layer was the interface between the old sun crust / surface hoar and the snow from last storm.
