Quick Observation
Avalanche Information
Size 1.5 wind slab off the north aspect of Ogden shoulder, around 2400m. The snow was visibly wind affected. Hand shears were breaking apart before producing failures due to how faceted the upper 30cm was. 3rd skier down triggered a small cookie that then entrained lots of the faceted surface snow and pulled a few pockets on the side walls of the feature on the way down.
