Comments
The little slide broke under me and ran out as I stayed calm as I could and rode to where the snow wasn’t moving under me. I was ready to deploy my bag and chose throttle and radio instead. There were not many signs of instability as we rode today but two of us set this hill off in two separate spots within minutes and then felt a large collapse as we were parked nearby.
