Comments
slope cut showed decent stability on entrance from corniced ridge (they're HUGE), but when slope turned past ~37deg., sluffed out from under me and caused a spill - no injuries or burial, just a stir. recovered and skied it again ~an hour later with no sluffing (other bc'ers had skied the run, as well), but the wind had filled in all the tracks already...
