I intentionally triggered this small windslab- brighton backountry, a lower cheater entry on skiers right. chute dumps out on lake mary. Very small slide. I Tried jumping up and down, close to rollover no luck. I had a good line on a snowboard cut with a big aspect change and a cliff to tuck under. Slope mellowed and fanned out, no trees in path, Slab looked thin and small. I had already stomped on a previous wind slab. Decided I could manage it. Winds from south. Not sure on weak layer, new snow from yesterday or surface facets? It was protected, n. There are definitely bigger slabs out there that are not maneageable.
