I intentionally stepped on top of a 39 degree roll over on the hike up Chicken Hill. The soft slab originally peeled off at 3" on a graupel layer then upon further pressing, bumped out on the full 8-10" of new snow. We also heard and felt settling on the low degree slopes and meadow below. We knew the snow was sensitive and therefore, we chose to ski the lower angle shoulder.

In addition, looking over to the south side of the bowl, we could see a small slide that occurred within the last 48 hours.
