Comments
Skied up Pigs in Heat Bowl. Very little wind effect, until the last few metres. Shallow 5cm wind slab triggered immediately below the cornice, swept two skiers lower on the slope off their feet, and carried down 100m. Size 1. 2450m, north aspect. 5-10cm deep, 20m wide, 150m long. One lost pole.
