Wind slab Tilley

Incident Report

Triggered size 1.5 wind slab on crust while going up and breaking trail on our way to English lake. Slab broke above me near the smallest part of the feature and propagated across entire feature. Went for a small ride and stayed mostly on top before tipping head first on the bench below. Partial burial to chest and no injuries. The crown was between 5cm to around 30cm at the thickest spot. Wind slab formed yesterday during the storm and was sitting on a hard crust. The next section was a lower angle bench above a terrain trap (gully, cliffs and trees) the bench itself was ok, but connected to a bigger bowl and we were concerned about remote triggering.
