Comments

South West Gulch, slope generally faces east. Wind load slab, with recent north west winds. Ski cut small wind loaded area on lower slope which resulted in the snow moving. Upper slopes, looking to ski, even more wind loaded thus we turned around.

Looked like recent slide in the past 4-5 days in "frys n gravy".
