Lots of shooting cracks and short running soft slabs as we worked our way around the wind loaded ridges. Went up towards main days for the second run and dropped in on the lower shoulder to avoid the head wall above. Towards the bottom I decided to go take a look at the final steep rollover assuming that I might get a smaller slide running seeing as how it was not being loaded the same way that the ridges above were. I was very surprised to watch the entire slope release and run trough the trees. Thing are not running with a whole lot of energy, but why split hairs, it was enough to scare us away from being on or below any sustained steep runs.
