We were on a 6 day ski trip at the Ozalenka cabin right as the snow finally arrived. Conditions were very unstable so we never ventured much above treeline. We remote triggered a slide on the first day which propagated about ½km along a mild ridge. We did find some great skiing in certain areas up to 30° slope within the tree line.
