Comments
On route today in upper Weber Canyon. I figured I'd check on the short, steep slope that slid on new year's eve. The wind was ripping! On my way, I sympathetically triggered a wind slab from the ridge. (Photo attached). We triggered several similar wind slabs today, but no others of this size. Next I investigated, attached is my pit in the start zone.
