Highly suspect this will be reported but took a few shots wanted to share photo. Wind slab broke lower off ridge than I would have guessed, but at a spot where the slope got steeper in rocks.
location was between mt Tuscarora and wolverine bowl. Just west of chute Y dumping into Tuscarora bowl.
Note from Craig Gordon... I slope cut this small pocket whilst descending from the saddle between Wolverine and Tuscarora. The shallow soft slab predictably broke below my skis.
