Comments
Just as we came off the ridge onto the northwest slope to to dig a pit when this fairly thick storm slab broke off in front of us. The storm slab/wind deposit was slightly denser and more cohesive it's upper third, however it seemed to be the old crust layer between storms that encouraged propagation.
