I triggered a soft slab about half way down the chute and it knocked me down and I was partially buried and took a 200’ tumble down through the sluf slide. Lost both my skis and had to hike the rocks out. I was not harmed at all. The slide was about 50’ across and went for about 250’ down before it stopped.
