Comments
Group skied around a convex roll, and triggered slide from the edge of the roll. We didn't realize it had slid until we skied a few hundred meters down the slope and looked back up, so we didn't get any details about slab depth or layer. Ski track that triggered slide is visible at looker's left side of crown in the photo.
