Small wind slab pocket appears to have naturally released with cornice fall, likely occurred overnight 2/13-2/14.

We found evidence of extensive recent drifting in the Tony Grove/White Pine Area... Most drifts and potential wind slabs are pretty welded in place, but we triggered cracking in a few stiff drifts in the trees....
