- <p>We were able to easily trigger multiple small wind slabs with ski cuts. The two largest were about 30’ to 40’ wide and 6” deep, on N to NE facing terrain. These were very sensitive to the weight of a skier and ran about 100’ to 200’, D1. They appeared to be failing on yesterday’s graupel. Winds were light overnight but significantly stronger in the afternoon, with plenty of available snow for transport. Photos 1 and 2 of wind slab D1. </p> <p>We skied a W facing slope late in the day, as PIs reached 4” an hour, and saw increasing connectivity with cracking and long running sluffs. </p>
