Quick Observation

To go with other MiN POST (Corbin quick report)- again location is off- technical issues with phone interface. Observed two natural slabs out of alpine immediate lees (north aspects). Both occurred while we were in field. One was a surprise - a solid size 2, running 400m to valley floor, stopping at the edge of the flats. Despite being only 10-40cm it propogated at least 150m wide - clearly unusually touchy. It is possible it failed below a thin, hard older windslab below the fresh snow. Either way, rapid loading was the trigger.
