Comments
After descending off of 10420 down the ridge towards the trailhead, we decided to drop off towards the road. The slope had a rollover and when making a turn/ski cut, the slope broke at the old/new snow interface. I was able to ski to the edge of the slide without incident. No other skiers were caught or carried.
