Avalanche
One medium sized slide. A single skiier skiied over the cornice and made a few turns before the crown broke almost at the top of the cornice above him. Skiier skiied right out and was fine. Skiier waited for a minute and then skiied down. The full slide was about 150 feet wide and maybe 500-600 feet long. Stopped on the shallower slow. R2D2?
