Comments
After our tour on green slope our group was entering back into Brighton resort. We notice rapid wind loading on NE through NW slopes. Fresh wind slabs were very noticeable. A skier in our group performed a ski cut and immediately a small slab broke at his feet and ran about 40' down the slope.
