Comments
I had been poking around all weekend checking for areas with a PWL. I found small pockets but nothing substantial. On the last up-track in this zone I found some very weak areas, however. This particular run goes from more open, low angle and wind affected to much steeper and very protected. A ski cut triggered the slide.
