Strong southwest winds over the past 24 hours have produced touchy slabs on north facing slopes. Yesterday, the Moonlight Basin Ski Patrol remotely triggered a small wind slab that broke up to 8 inches deep and they experienced cracking and collapsing in wind loaded terrain. The Big Sky Ski Patrol also found sensitive conditions on wind loaded slopes.
