Triggered a small wind slab yesterday but it left a decent debris area, enough to carry a person. Luckily it was triggered while skiing a cut pattern and we didn't even notice it till we were skinning back up and noticed the crown about 8' above the down track. We were dealing with some binding issues and didn't take a picture unfortunately. The slide was triggered on a small break over so it opens the door for potential for similar slides on similar terrain which could have larger consequences.
