Comments
The small one was up by hillclimb.
We seen it crack when the 1st rider went through. A second rider decided to bring it down. This was intentional and we felt fairly safe. It was maybe 10ft x 10ft and 1 ft deep.
The larger size one I triggered. Was accidental.
Could see at my point of turn out a crack taking off from my ski. The crack travelled across the face faster then the snow travelled down.
