Comments
Snowboarder entered south bowl's center line.
Upon entering slope, firm windslab to 1 finger resistance fractured on 3mm SH at convexity. Multiple shooting cracks along ridge line did not slide. Debris ran full path to flat meadow below. Evidence of wind loading at ridge top present.
Snowboarder managed to ride out with no injury.
