R1-D1 just above Two Dogs. Looks like solo skier came down and hit the thin spot where there's a rock sticking out in the crown.
This is pretty sad to see to be frank. With tons of fresh lines just lookers right on the lower angle two dogs run why someone would choose this as an option is certainly questionable. There's some dice rolling going on and triggering the PWL may not be easy but if higher northerly slopes keep getting tested like this, they will bite back. The rescue complications in this zone are very real and hopefully this isn't a sign of things to come for the rest of the season.
