East face around 1030 am. Rider was powsurfing and riding a lightly corniced shoulder aside the main bowl. Rider was aware when it fractured, skirted the left side of the path and road away from the path.
piled up mid slope on a shelf a few feet deep and ran the length of the slope about 500 for or so.
