Comments
Small slide but big enough to take me for a ride about 50 feet. Luckily it was slow moving and I was able to stop at a tree shortly after triggering. Ran another 30 to 40 feet beyond that. I ascended and descended the same line with no reaction on the ascent. I believe all new snow on top of the crust from last Thursday's rain event gave.
