Thin Wind Slab Avalanche Hardscrabble

I rode into Fairy Lake. There was 2-3” of new snow above the elevation of Fairy Lake, a trace below. Winds were cranking at ridge top elevation, transporting what soft snow there was. Minimal hazard formation. I spotted one fresh wind slab avalanche near Hardscrabble. The slide ran several hundred feet in steep terrain but was very thin (R1,D1). 

There was a mostly supportable crust below the new snow about 1” thick. The snow below the crust was moist.
