A very experienced local surfed a large piece of cornice that breaks behind him above a steep chute on Moffit Peak. The bus sized piece of snow pulls out a 2-3 ft deep x 50 ft wide hard slab that runs nearly 1000 ft vertically with the skier on board for the entire ride channeling his inner Laird Hamilton self. Fortunately all ends well.
