Comments
A couple of small wind slabs from today's winds, likely triggered by cornice. One of the wind slabs (farthest lookers right in the photo) then triggered a small persistent slab lower on slope. Would expect increased likelihood of both wind slabs and persistent slabs the next couple days on northerly facing slopes as winds continue.
