Skied a few afternoon laps in Bowl 2 on Iron Mountain. Decided to go check out Bowl 3 and see how the new... now wet snow was bonding to the steeper aspects. Found a melt freeze crust underneath and thought the wet snow would easily move. Ski cut the top and a small wet slide pulled at my feet 4in x 10ft wide x 400ft long. Was pretty slow moving and picked up more snow as it moved down toward mid mountain trail. Side stepped back up to the ridge and skied down and out bowl 2 and lower angle terrain.
