Caught this pocket in the corner of my eye during my exit from Bear Trap today. Winds were all over the place, even penetrating lower elevation terrain we usually consider protected

Nothing earth shattering with this slide... steep and wind loaded, just needed a trigger to roll along from above and initiate.
