Comments
Was about to drop into a chute to do a ski cut. As u was strapping in my shuffling broke off the crown which ran 60 around the ridge the slide ran the whole length of the chute then another 200 plus meters. We went to ski another aspect mellower aspect.
The hoar layer it ran on continued to be very touchy throughout the area,
On small convexties.
