Notes

From obs: "Skier Triggered a 1.5' slide to his right while making a turn near a cliff band. The slide did not intersect with the skier's path. We did a ECT before choosing our line and were not able to get the soft slab , or anything else to propagate, but clearly, the slab is ready to go as it slid on rocks. We both skied out without incident."
