Skier triggered wind slab and broke larger than expected. Skier initiated at thin part of slab. Skier skied off of slab.
A very quick crown profile showed F+ (12") storm snow on top of a very consolidated slab. Pencil to Knife hardness on top of a thin layer of facets. Fists in the upper layer, can't even see where I was poking with my finger and then the facet layer on the bottom.
