Small wind slab triggered on the leeward side of one of the sub-ridges out on Wolf Creek Pass. Slope wasn't really big enough for it to travel very far. Rider was already in the flats by the time the slide was moving. 15 mph winds out of the north for most of the day. Would expect to see more wind slabs forming in this zone over the next couple days
