Wind Slab at Carmack

Found a spot of touchy wind slab that took me for a short ride on a size 1 avalanche. We triggered it on the way up, with the crown well above us. It was a soft slab sliding on an icy weak interface with a sun crust. Wind transport was hard to see with the particles of snow being so small, but was obvious once we stayed in the same place a while and saw our tracks being filled in and the crown of the avalanche being filled in.
