Skier triggered wind slab Mause Creek

<p>Submitted for Eddie Petryshen: "We were up Mause Creek and Tanglefoot in the South Rockies. Surface hoar on both south and north aspects from 1850 to 2150 m. Smaller and less noticeable hoar as you climb in elevation. Only areas without it were either areas where it had melted out or areas with significant wind effected slopes where snow was bulletproof. Will be a major layer to watch but not sure if this surface is common in other areas right now. We didn't notice it up lil sand on saturday. Heavy winds in alpine over the last few days have built isolated wind slabs in north and northeast aspects. We triggered one of these. Skier was able to safely ski out but a scary moment near the bottom of a couloir at a cross loaded 35-38 degree slope where wind deposited snow built into a hard slab. 25-40 cm deep slab with a 50 m wide by 30 m vertical fracture line. Ran for 50 metres or so. We let many of the early season conditions we were seeing in other areas blur our judgement on that one." Geotag pin not exact location.</p>
