Comments
After making a few turns at the top of Holy Moly, I stopped to let my sluff run. This fast and heavy sluff went for about 10ft before ripping out a soft slab about 6 inches deep by 90ft wide. The avalanche continued to grow as it picked up more snow in the chute on the way down. The slab failed on a crust layer.
