Soft wind slab on steep rollover near summit on top of Reynolds Peak. Broke on the temp crust from Friday, 3/28. Caused by slope cut on steep rollover, was slow moving. Formed by wind transported snow. Saw the prefect set-up: wind deposition, steep rollover. Waited until the other people in the area were in the clear to cut the slope.
