I was heading to the car off Emma's/Culps area in LCC. I hit a small area where the slope angle obviously increased, so I anticipated I'd get some sloughing. A couple of turns and I was out of the noted zone. Barely a 1; it failed on new storm snow, as expected.
It wasn't enough to knock you off your feet but I thought it'd be good to include the pics to show what was happening directly behind/adjacent to me. A good reminder, given multiple days of getting blanked with sun coupled by new storm snow, to quell the stoke a bit and take it easy over the next few days in high-consequence terrain.
