Roughly 37 degrees. South (maybe SE...) facing.
 
Had skiied slope above, which was slightly lower angle. Low 30s.
 
Partner kicked off another similar wind slap avalanche while trying to safely ski down to join me. He chose a SE aspect nearby and it popped as well.
 
Roughly 35 ft wide. 125 ft long. 8" crown.
 
We did not see any other signs of instability today. Things were spooky at some level due to the variability of the storms over the weekend, but nothing else other than breakable crust, wind scour, and 1-3 ft of wind transported powder in West and South facing aspects and pockets.
