Saw several small wind slab avalanches that must have released naturally earlier today. The avalanche pictured and described ran onto the Mineral Fork road. Only the windboard on top ran so the slab was only 2-3 inches thick. However, the windboard proved to be very reactive in spots on west facing aspects.
The two other small natural wind slab releases were higher up (9-10k) on N through E facing slopes. One of these is shown in Picture 2.
