Comments
On our descent, took a whack at a road cut with my ski pole and triggered a shallow soft slab in the new snow (up to 10" deep), propagated up to 40 feet (see RoadCut_1 photo). Continued down the road cut and basically got the whole thing to slide, 10 to 50 feet at a time... (see RoadCut_2 photo).
