I have not found evindence of reactive wind slabs. I did find some isolated and patchy wind slabs up to 6 inches deep but I could not get them to move or show any signs of cracking. I wan't to keep this problem on for another day just to keep it in mind for those people looking to ride any steep terrain where triggering a small slab could result in a fall down the slope. There is a lot of terrain out there and we do see quite a bit of variability in conditions across the forecasting zone.

This is the biggest wind slab I could find on a north facing slope near treeline on Thursday. It was about 6" deep. I could not make the slab move or crack.
