Wendy Thompson received ~20cm overnight on Sat and continued snowing all day Sunday. Temp remained around 0-1 degrees all weekend. SW winds on Sat afternoon had deposited snow on NE aspects that potentially formed the surface for the slab. Apon arriving at the flat spot in the ridge in the first picture we remote triggered the first storm slab. A ski cut then propogated and released the rest of the slope.
