Observations
Easily triggered small wet slabs on a small steep slope on our return out of the Kendall Adventure Zone. In the morning it was obvious the new storm snow was poorly bonded to the underlying crust, but wasn't displaying significant slab characteristics. This slope on the way out later in the day fractured with almost every ski turn was easy to manage.
