Comments
Found a pocket ~8" of sensitive storm snow. Took two turns after a little roll over and cracks shot across the entire section of slope about 20' to my right and 40' to my left. Carried for a short distance, but was able to self arrest. Stayed on top of the small slide, but it did take me off my feet.
