I noticed several small but somewhat deep crowns in the steep trees at the top of Argenta. Decided to perform a ski cut before dropping into an untracked line, sure enough triggered the same slab that seems to be problematic all over the Wasatch. Appeared to slide on a very small density change between the very dense snow from the beginning of the storm and the top 15".
