A skier triggered this small wind slab along a wind loaded ridge in Hyalite. Although small, it's an obvious clue wind loaded slopes are unstable. Even small slides can have severe consequences if triggered in steep-exposed terrain or on slopes with terrain traps such as gullies, trees or rock bands. Photo: G. Antonioli
