Came across some skiers who had triggered a size 1 slab avalanche, just over the traverse to ravens in south bowl. They estimated the crown at 20 cm. They thought it was from warming. There was also signs of wind affect around. They said it was accidentally started by a rider, but they weren't dragged by the avalanche. I didn't get a chance to investigate the bed surface further.
