We watched 5-6 natural wet slides / large roller balls (were far away but probably 3ft across) come down from the cliffs above the main argenta slide path (pic 1/2). We had already decided not to go for the main chute off the peak and right as we finished transitioning heard a noise behind us looked up and saw a natural wet slide come over the cliffs. It definitely would've been enough snow to take someone off there feet. Just after we saw small rollers come straight down the main argenta chute.
Additionally we saw a wide crown on the circle awl slide path (pic 3) that slid a majority of the way down. To far to estimate size of crown or width.
