Spotted this small wind slab in the Evanston neighborhood over the wekend. Many of the steeper road cuts and backyards are popular sledding hills and this winter has been a good year for such activities. I'm thinking this small slide was unintentionally triggered while kids were sledding in the area. A good example of given the right conditions even slopes we normally think of as harmless can slide.
