Comments
Still seeing some potential out there for windslabs to be triggered on steep convexities in windloaded features like this east facing wind shaped feature. This tiny slab triggered on a hard melt freeze crust from late March. We took this as a sign and decided to use extra caution when approaching steep windloaded slopes in the alpine and treeline as a result.
