Comments
We had just completed 2 laps down the ridge, figuring this would be a safe option today, on the 3rd lap this pulled out just as we were skiing below, the runoff was pretty short but a decent amount of snow. Our thinking is that as the sun got on that aspect it was working on the rocks that can be seen throughout the crown.
