Ski cutting skier's left side cardiac bowl early on 11/26, before most of the precip arrived.
Some small cracking on up-skin, localized to right around the skis. No movement.
Was able to trigger this one superficial, soft slab, right along the rocks at the top of the slope, which propagated across path and ran about 40ft, but did not step down into any layers below.
