I'm calling this unintentional since the avalanche was much bigger than expected, despite the fact that it released 30' below me while I was ski-cutting the top of the bowl

The hard slab avalanche involved a few layers of very hard old snow and failed on a 10 cm thick layer of well developed facets.
