Comments
Slope was unassuming and we have been there multiple times before. This was the most snow I’d seen there before. 2 of us on the slope when it broke, 1 mod is caught in the slide and 1 ahead. We both turned downhill and outran it to 1 side. Very lucky and shook us both up. Approx. 200 m wide and 150 m tall.
