Hubris, i figured i could out run any trouble. Back up plan was to bail high skiers right. I jumped in pretty fast and saw the whole thing ripple after a couple turns. I made it high right and dug in, but just barely. Even took a peek at my trigger. I was surprised by how big and fast it went. You can see where i arrested and skied down the bed below upper trees lookers right
