Comments
Following in the skin track set by a party of 2 ahead of us was close to a tree when there was a loud settlement and an at least a 15 m long crack shot across the slope running tree to tree. Open treed South slope at 2000m. Skied conservative line in trees and small features avoiding large planar slopes.
