Triggered this wind slab on a sharp sub ridge that was actively wind loading. Experienced wind deposits getting harder and more sensitive throughout the day on most aspects above 7000'. Likely ran on the partially faceted new snow from the last storm before the winds picked up over the past 48 hours and loaded it. Measurements estimated.
