Accident Summary
Observation Summary
We noticed debris caused by cornice breaking creating a soft slab slide. If you zoom in on the picture with a snowboard, you can see some of the debris. After a tree run, I chose to ride a more exposed line. I was pretty sure that I would release a small soft slab wile riding, and that's what happened. Not a big deal, but wind slabs are real this week.
