As our groupe was traversing on top of the Moraine to avoid the slope we deem unsafe, the 3rd skier release the corniche which was not overhanging and well supported. The slab propagated quickly and most of the Moraine released. Nobody was caugth. In a small area there was a steep down to another Storm slab 100cm deep. Multiple natural avalanche were seen on all aspect from motel 66 POV. Note: The run out of this avalanche was were the skin track to Keiths usually is. Please follow the marker in the trees!
