Touring from white pine TH to Box Elder. On the way up to the ridge above lake shot in the way there in the morning we saw multiple wind slabs, so we avoided them on the up by boot packing up a small rock band. When we got to the top we stomped on the wind slab and it was very sensitive and propagated 30ft. There was a second larger wind slab that another group trigger sometime later in the day that we observed on the way home in the afternoon. I was surprised how sensitive these windslabs were. There was a well preserved layer of stellar dendrites as a weak layer.
