Two separate slides off the ridge. Took photo from across ravine and couldn't make it to the site in order to investigate further. Having seen the North Bowl slide, I assumed a similar cause - which I believe was a natural slide, sluffiing off all the powder accumulation from the storm on 2/27/21.
Photo added from another party traveling above the crown.
