Looks like one big continuous wind slab came off of Noriega's Face and wrapped around the corner in the Nori Trees. Could be multiple pockets as well I'm really not sure. Based on depth looks to be the most recent storm snow up to 12" deep, or so that fell yestersday 4/4/25. Mapped out the crown on a map and it came in at .3 miles, or 1,584' wide. Pretty connected if this was one slab. Various other wind slab pockets were seen today up in the big cirques, but this was by far the largest.
