I was looking but not touching. It continued Saturday, with a bunch of skiier triggered avys, often right next to earlier slides. The Arm definitely inspires classic decision faults where the familiar push on when all the indicators clearly say back off.
Any details on the huge slide on Herman the weekend before? I heard that one from miles away. All I know is 4 snowboarders were involved with 2 partially buried. The free 2 dug their buddies out. It was easy to predict that solar radiation would make that south facing slope unstable but the size was unexpected.

No trace of the Bagley (Herman) slide on Monday. All the new snow erased the crowns and debris! No one had touched it either, maybe it reached taboo status! On monday, everything in the Bagley cirque was stable, but when it started to warm up we left. No instabilities noted in the Marmot/Grouse drainages over the weekend, even with large chunks of cornices impacting the slopes below...
