Comments
Unintentional trigger on a rollover in a drainage, upper 30 degrees. There were clear indications of a natural hundreds of feet wide with 12"+ inch crown around the gully. Once coming down, I cut into the side of the gully, my skis dropped to the bed-surface while the soft slab broke free on the same bed-surface and propagated down the gully. This happened higher than the previous natural.
