Slide started in Steve's Shot,then the whole bowl went. Very large and fast powder cloud snaping tree limbs. Sand boxing was bad on ridge line on the way to look crown. Bed surface was pure sugar,this will fill in and repeat. 1st time was 12-13-13, Darc reported it. 5 Star skiing on low angle trees.
