Comments
Saw this while hiking up towards the ridge, unsure if it was triggered today or yesterday. Triggered by a skier as they turned. Propagated about 5 feet. A small storm slab, but into a bit of a terrain trap. Kept us on more slightly mellower terrain for the rest of the day.
As we skied down to the right of the slide we saw another storm slab crown in the same area, unsure if that one was triggered by a skier or natural. That one didn't have a lot of propagation and was stopped by trees.
