Third skier into the run. Skied slightly left of the first two tracks and triggered the slope in the top third of the steeper pitch. Tried to stay on top but bounced off a few trees loosing both skis. Ended up on the surface after being pushed 60 meters in the debris. No injuries except for some bumps and bruises. Couldn’t find the lost skis. Thanks to GADSAR for getting me home.
