Comments
Most of the places skied were pretty low angle and mellow. Right below the summit skiers crossed under a small steep slope. The first skier had no issues but the second skier heard a womp and a crack formed and propagated approx 6feet across above the skier. Both skiers bailed out of skiing the steeper terrain and kept it mellow for the rest of the ski.
