Comments
Here is another little pocket that broke on us today. We were kind of expecting this to happen after our experiences earlier in the day- but realized the debris was running slow and was not very threatening on these short slopes.
The area to the left of the cliff broke right as the rider dropped in towards the cliff. The area to the right of the cliff broke when I landed the cliff drop on the lookers right side.
This was an E facing slope at around 8700 feet. About a foot deep and 50 feet wide.
You can see the slab buckling and rippling behind the rider as he drops.
