Descending the Patsy Ridge we looked into Powder 8 bowl cautiously and released a wind slab on a cross loaded/leeward slope which appeared to fail on the dense snow from the last storm. I didn't stick around to make a more detailed observation (I apologize). The propagation occurred on a convex roll over down the ridge from the summit where much smaller cornices had built up. It didn't carry much speed, but I was surprised of the overall size of the pocket that moved. - Probably a pretty common occurrence yesterday for the salt lake area wind effected terrain. Winds seem to come from every direction yesterday. It was great.
