We witnessed this size ~1.5 avalanche from a distance minutes after it happened. Manage to communicate with group. They confirmed they were okay but lost gear (could see them probing), likely skis.

Didn’t see the slide happening but suspect last skier triggered it.

We skied Saucer chute earlier that day, it had ran during the last storm but was otherwise great.
