Windslab in southern Woody Ridge gully

Windslab in southern Woody Ridge gully

Date
Activity
Skiing

I saw debris from an avalanche in one of the southern Woody Ridge gullies. The slide appeared to be a recent windslab formed by the new snow over the past few days. Best guess it happened yesterday, and it appeared to be natural. The crown appeared ~8-16” from a distance, and was on the skier’s left side of the gully, the side that sees loading from wind out of the south. It ran a few hundred feet down the gully.
