Poking around in the upper White Pine basin and found lots of touchy wind slabs that released 20 to 50 feet above me. Nothing of consequence on the slopes I was on but I imagine on a big wide open wind loaded slope they could be pretty damaging. From across the valley I saw the whole face between Glacier Peak and Lake Peak had released naturally with a similar wind slab. Looked like a much bigger crown 1 or 2 feet? You have to zoom in on the second picture to see it.
