Solid size 1 loose dry, 5m wide 100m long. Was skiing the run of my life... and then my sluff caught up to me. Skied the tope half very fast, slowed down slightly and came from right to left above the choke considering pulling off to the left into a safe spot below some rocks. Didn't shoulder check(mistake) and sluff pulled me off my feet, tumbled head over heels for a good 50+ meters losing a ski and both poles(all recovered no free gear 4 u). Thought I was going to get buried for a second or two, bit of snow in the mouth/throat and came out on top with no injuries.

Lesson of the day; don't slow down.
