Pencil hard wind slabs, haven't seen many of these this winter. Widespread along ridge lines, scattered off ridge lines in open areas. An entirely different beast than the soft slabs we've mostly had this winter. They seem supportable, yet tend to break above you and often not on the first person. They also often take longer to stabilize.

Photo below a windward slope, scoured down to the Feb 18th dirt layer. A measure of how much snow was eroded and transported. 30 to 40" at the upper elevations.

The snow pack has multiple weak layers, which vary by aspect and elevation. In deeper snowpack areas, it's more likely to trigger one of the upper weak layers. In shallower snowpack areas, slides were breaking near the ground the past few days.

Example of spatial variability and how the snow pack can change rapidly over very short distances.
