Notes

From obs 2/27/22: "Shooting cracks in a thin wind slab on a ridge crest. The slab was small but the collapse was abrupt and propagated 20 feet."

From a group on Flanders Mtn in Hyalite: "I triggered a shallow 2-3cm deep windslab about 20 feet wide just below the ridgeline. I was not on a steep slope, so it barely moved. "
