Small wind slab broke about a third of the way down from Shastarama on the skiers right side of the chute. The slide was 30ft wide, over two feet thick in the deepest spot, and ran over 1000 feet down the slope. The debris was soft except for larger chunks of the original slab which felt about one finger.
