I talked to Dave about this incident and gave him a detailed description and here are some photos.  Would appreciate not sharing the burial photos that include people publicly but hopefully the others help.  We were in rescue mode so documenting this wasn't a priority.  

I'd call it a D2.5, 3 ft crown,  250-300' wide and ran @ 400'+ vert.  

1 skier buried with arm out, one skier able to hug a tree on the side of one gully and another skier blown through small trees and sustained likely broken ribs.  6 total in party.
