Comments
I dropped in first and triggered a small wind slab. I was carried about 50' before traversing out and then skiing down on the bed surface. The second person to drop triggered the same wind slab only a little wider and maybe a little deeper. He was carried about 150' before coming to a stop on top of the debris. He lost a ski but found it quickly as it was partially sticking out.
