Hardly a slab present but it doesn't matter. What defines a slab is the weak layer. As long as the slab is just a little stronger than the weak layer, we can get an avalanche. The facets in this case are very weak. This slope avalanched on Dec 22. Then some very low density snow fell, then very cold temperatures followed and the new low density snow and the old snow became very faceted and weak. On Jan 6 & 7 this area received about 1 inch of water and about a foot of snow. I think there were two skier triggered slides here. One was intentionally ski cut and triggered. Unsure about the other.

What shocked me was how shallow and weak the snow is. It looks more like the snowpack in early December in Montana. We don't need it here in the Wasatch.

There was another skier triggered slide just opposite the high point of Flagstaff shoulder. It was late in the day and the light was poor for photos.
