Comments
Backside of Big White summit, ski cut produced a 6-12" thick shooting crack with slab release that ran the entire slope. Mellower slopes/trees below the saddle were stable, excellent skiing, but exercised extreme caution in a three person group. Significant wind transport observed on the Lee side of the mountain.
