Snow Profile Comments
We didn't get a chance to complete a profile but in the picture of the crown bellow you can see the facets near the ground. The new storm snow above that. Then a slightly more dense layer that was the new wind slab topping it all off.

Comments
Party of three unintentionally remotely triggered a soft slab. The crown was 6-12" high and 150' wide and ran 20' to road cut bench where it came to a rest. Debris was about 3'. This
