Comments
This slide sympathetically released above and north of the skier and ran north of her ski track. The slide seemed to break on the new snow/crust interface. It broke on a steep rollover 38-40 degrees and ran 300 yards and crossed the Silverfork road Sorry no photos hard to see through the Aspen.
