Comments
Technically we did have a skier triggered slid. This was on a steeper rollover NE 9800 ft. I had concern about this area as we ascended, pole probing revealed no slab, just faceted snow. When we skied it it plopped out about a meter by meter area, ran 2m and then stopped at the bench in the foreground. Steep rollover, cohesion less snow, a bit shallower than other spots and rocks underneath.
Rime didn't effect the skiing quality too much where we were, but did give a zipper crust in specific areas.
