Comments
Ski cut triggered storm snow slide on hard sun(?) crust at a rollover that was ~40 deg. 18" crown, 20' wide, ran 400' into meadow below. Enough energy to knock you off your feet but unlikely burial. I've seen same spot slide in similar new snow conditions. Touchy spot just north (skinner's right) of standard skin track to peak 10561 in Upper Days.
