Triggered this wind slab on the E facing test hill on the way to Cardiff Bowl, basically just walked out on the steep part of the slope and it pulled out. The week layer was the old hard and icy surface from before the storm, fairly minor with only the light density snow moving but something to think about if you were trying to get into steep radical terrain, I would think most of these instabilities would settle out by tomorrow if not by this afternoon.
