Comments
I would call this a slough, except for the fact it actually window paned on me 5 turns into my run, so technically, it was a wet slab. Slow moving, I was able to ski off of it without issue. Ran about 600 vert before coming to a stop. Left a decent pile of heavy, wet debris. Ran on the dust layer reported by UAC 5/13.
