Extensive wind transport from the SSE throughout the day. Obvious loading & slab formation. I had cut or jumped on several comparable but lower angle slopes without generating any cracking or collapsing. This steeper convex slope was triggered by jumping behind some trees at its edge. Didn't get a good look at the crown because the slab broke back further than expected & I had to go searching for my pole.
