Popped out a soft wind slab on a West facing slope that was adjacent to a steeper slope that had gone natural during the recent cycle. Propagated roughly 100ft and into mellower terrain than expected. Ran roughly 200 feet. Able to ski off due to slow speed. Good reminder to be very mindful of convoluted terrain in these conditions.
