Released a wind slab at the top of Mt Ogden Chute just outside of Snowbasin today. There were two previous tracks running through it. Slope looked suspect, so I put a ski cut in at the top with no result then gave it a slight kick and a wind slab about 30 feet across released just below my skis. Crown was just over a foot and it ran the length of the chute with the edge of the debris hitting the traverse. No one was caught, carried, or exposed below. Perhaps not enough to bury someone, but definitely could have taken someone for a ride if they were in the chute or had triggered the slab from below.
