Comments
While running laps on a low angle south aspect we poked around on some north start zones as we were suspecting things changed with the recent warm new snow and winds. A small ski cut was all that was needed to initiate this slope that is a regular performer with it's steep roll immediately Lee of the winds. It ran full path taking all the snow pack with it down to ground.
