Got over-psyched today with the new snow. Was headed down two trees, one minute the turns were blower and then about 1/3 of the way down I was sliding with the snow. Slab broke 40-50' and ran ~130'. Ski popped off but luckily was able to stay on top. Definitely feel really lucky things could have been much worse.
