Weather
Intense wind-loading and relatively warm temps.
Snowpack
Sand-blasted in directly wind-affected areas and stiff slabs on lee slopes near ridges.
Avalanche
Triggered a small convex roller from the bottom of the slab, cracking traveled around 40 feet. Slope was not steep enough and slab not thick enough to actually run.
