Observed mostly stable wind scoured terrain in Coquihalla but also found where wind blew most of the snow and triggered a surprisingly large wind slab which was skier triggered accidental. Ran quickly on rain crust surface and propagated surprisingly wide across the entire bowl. Keep an eye out for where new snow Sunday will likely cover up sneaky pockets of wind loaded slabs.
