Small soft slab that released naturally either at the tail end of the Feb 16 storm or during warming the following day. It is interesting to note that this released lower on the path compared to where this usually avalanches. This is probably due to various wind crusts higher in the bowl and a more contiguous layer of facets lower in the bowl. Debris from a second slide that happened during the storm is also visible to the lookers right.
