Observations
On my way to Artist Point I noticed an obvious wind slab on the flats at Austin Pass that would be harmless if it slid so I used it as a test slope. Standing on top of it I stomped the edge with my ski twice and on the second hit the slab fractured, propagated, and slid down a few feet before coming to rest.
