Party of 2 went to ski Dogleg. About 30 cm of low-density fist snow was found on the fan and the bottom two-thirds of the dogleg couloir. At around 2480m the low-density powder changed to a wind slab. We stopped briefly to talk about turning around and remotely triggered a size 1 windslab around 8m above us. We were lucky enough to stay on our feet the whole time and everyone was ok.
