PST 50/100 at two layers - 115 down(crust facet combo) and 140 down (basal facet interface) 7500 ft NE aspect 15 degree slope angle. Several ECTX across region.
From Obs, "Toured wolverine bowl and noticed a couple of large slides near the ridge on NE aspects. The most obvious was this one on the Hourglass that looks like it went in the last week. The trigger could have been part of the massive cornices breaking off." Photo: R. Leslie

From Obs, "While skiing Shafthouse Hill I intentionally trigger a wind slab on a small slope. The slab was actively forming with the new storm snow. I triggered it by ski cutting the slab at the rollover. It broke very easily and was approximately 15cm thick.
