UAC Forecaster note: Local winds between 0730 and 0930 created this wind slab. There was no wind slab present before this time. This is a classic example of how you can almost find an unstable wind slab on any given day regardless of snow conditions. Winds shifted from a SSW direction to a S and SSE direction and increased slightly blowing 30 G 40 mph at 0900 near Hidden Peak before easing again.
