Comments
I was skiing down the Couloir and decided to make a ski cut to see what the top layer of the snowpack was like. As I did that everything below me slid and built up into a larger slide. The debris moved quite slow but still had enough force to carry a person which would have had devastating consequences due to the exposure.
