Incident

Comment
<p>Shooting cracks was observed by standby skier while other skier was making turns and triggered a size 0.5-1 wind slab. Caught skier managed to ski towards skier's left to avoid being caught. Start zone was on an East lee and convex slope with some obvious wind transport from W SW winds. </p>
