Comments
Touchy storm slab conditions on Saturday. We were noticing slabby feeling snow on the uptrack and decided to play around on some test slopes. Got lots of shooting cracks and a couple small .5's to let go on convex rolls. decided to change our plan for the day instead of riding the main face or chute we were just going to ride near the uptrack, approaching the summit we ski cut another slope and heard a giant whomph and remote triggered a size 2 in the bowl lookers left of the uptrack at the summit at 15k.
