Recently formed wind slab from the wind/storm event of Saturday the 7th. Lots of loose snow on the ground from last storm was available for transport along with 6-8" of new, low density snow. Initiated beneath rock band near ridge crest. Slabs of this nature will remain sensitive for the next few days. Potential exists for them to step down into deeper, persistent slab though this hasn't occurred yet.
