I anticipate someone having better info and views of this but a natural persistent slab from during the storm connected across the East-facing apron of the Needle. Similar slab characteristics to other 2-4' crowns that resulted from the cycle during the last storm. High westerly winds loaded mid-track start zones and thus is representative of other natural and skier-triggered slabs in the area .
