During late morning lap on the more easterly aspect of the Northeast bowl of 10420 I crossed into a small, isolated wind slab shaded by a fir, that when ridden across cracked a bit, but did not propagate immediately. After finishing the descent my partner and I observed a slow-moving slide initiating from that spot ending up almost 70ft long after a few minutes. This was the only instance of instability we observed on the slope.
