Scary how big the crown was, and how far across it released.Dropped in from the top left corner of this photo, by the large rock wall in the sun.

Quick report

Comment
Fairly West facing. We knew there was a risk of the slope sliding, but did not think it would be so far down the ridge to rider’s left. Chose this line because there is a cliff on the right, to turn around and get out of avi path if it slid. It popped on my 1st turn, pointed it straight and then right out of the way. Yes we were aware of the Terrain trap at the bottom.
