Wind Slab in Taylor Fork

Wind Slab in Taylor Fork

This wind slab was triggered by a skier in the Taylor Fork area of the southern Madison Range.  It is located on a south facing slope just off the main trail.  "No one was caught but it was a close call."  Even small avalanches can be serious when they run through trees that can cause trauma.  Photo: B.
