Avalanche Details
While skiing down the north aspect of Baldy, we found a slide in our normal down track. Looked to be a couple days old since the crown and debris had begun to be covered by new wind blown snow. It ran about half the length of the mountain and came relatively close to the backside trail. We believe this slide was a larger wind slab that had released on facets on top an icy crust. Blocks of snow varied in size up to stove and possibly refrigerator size. Debris pile was big enough to injury and possibly bury a person. Crown varied in depth

Snowpack
We did a small pit on the upper left flank of the crown. I had no snow study kit or an ect cord. My bone saw was not long enough to cut an ect block.
