Comments
Stronger than expected mid morning winds in upper red pine quickly formed some touchy wind slabs. On lap #2 of the area east of lake shot, triggered this small wind slab. My path was to the skiers right and I was not caught. A few minutes later, another member of our group propagated a crack across a small lower angle bowl. Stuck to lower angle protected trees afterwards.
