The windy storm on Wednesday evening and a pronounced north through east strong wind shift on Valentine's Day produced several natural wind slabs in the region. This one, north of Mantua, is visible from the highway.

Here's a nice, broad wind slab in Rattlesnake Canyon, (photo from 2-19-08). The old hard slab from 2-14-08 was around ~100' wide and 1' deep. We noted evidence of several fairly recent larger avalanches in the area.
