"We triggered a medium sized wind slab about 50 ft wide and 12" deep. It released easily after I kicked a small piece of the cornice on it, the chunk was only about twice the size of a football. We're talking R1D1, maybe D2, but a person would have gone for a wild ride if they were stuck in it. The weak later seemed to be facets that formed near a thin crust that was buried by the wind slab. We had dug a pit less than 500 ft down at a similar aspect and didn't see any signs of concern. ECTX, CTN, and no noticeable weaknesses in the pack." Photo: A. Schauer
