Comments
Toured up White Pine to Scotties today, on my second lap off the ridge, I triggered a small wind slab that was in a pocket about 100-125 below the ridgeline. I didn’t notice it until I was further down the bowl and turned around. The small part of the crown I could make out looked to be maybe 6-8” and ran about 150ft down slope. Nothing crazy but a sign that these isolated wind slabs are still active. Grabbed a picture from the White Pine lot but it is hard to make out the crown in the photo so I marked the general area.
