Comments
Thought we would take advantage of some saved daylight. Identified a wind loaded East face heading into Fang. Cut the slope. It released (5-10 wide)below the skier. We watched it run. It wasn't very big, but it ran about halfway down the apron. I believe this is what was mentioned in the forecast. I probably would not have made much mention of it but I had a picture to show what you are looking for.

This picture shows you the potential hazard; if you went for a ride. Off the rocks on the left and into the rocks on the right.
ps. the snow was terrible!
