We call the chutes into Bagley Lake the "Seattel Chutes" in the early weeks of winter.

Not to belabor the point but this vid of my buddy ranting on the topic is pretty funny.

I noticed the video where you broke off a slab in Swift Creek - when was that -in the afternoon?  I was there skiing the east and south facing aspects of the slope (with a crowd of about 30 people who wanted to stay in the trees) and saw no instability.  Maybe you were there mid afternoon after a couple more hours of wind loading?

It was later, around 2:45. I think it would have gone at any point in that day.
We identified the rollover as sketch earlier and meant to steer clear. The wind was kicking all day and building cross loaded slabs on that aspect. It's good we all stayed off of the N facing blueberry shoots cause that was getting the brunt of the loading.

I'm psyched for a bit of clearing/settling and some bluebird touring days this weekend. Of course with an eye to those aspects that have wind loaded up.
