Quick report

Cracking
isolated

Made a few hand pits in main gully, and observed a 1-2” thick slab releasing easily on lookers left side. Wind slab was thicker (6-8”) but less reactive more towards center of main. Didn’t get the warm fuzzies about it, so we went to ski some lower angles terrain in the sandbox. While skiing down the center snowfield in the sandbox, triggered a small wind slab in a lee area about halfway down. Cracks propagated, slab was probably 2-3” thick. Winds were low until about 930am, then picked up and snow was observed being transported.
