I was planning on this one going in Dry Fork yesterday. I ski cut this pocket with speed. A wind slab 2ft deep at the top but with a broken crown. It started slow and gauged into the lower pack and ran out the bottom. Some big chunks at the end but the debris was not to deep. It cracked out to skiers left at least 50 ft. but didn't move. I jumped on it with no results. Be safe out there.
