Comments
Skied So Long off Point Supreme, staying skier's right before reaching a gully. The gully looked steep so I stayed high, traversing left while keeping speed. The impromptu ski cut popped a hard storm / wind slab that slid 20-30 feet into the gully. Looks like the crack propagated further skier's right of the crown. Super touchy and reactive.
