After a day of touring in Broads fork, we finished with a run into Mill B on a steeper more easterly shot than we had previously been skiing. The snow felt deeper and a bit heavier, and after skiing the initial 400 ft, skied off to a safe zone on the side of the slope. I watched the run and my sluff picked up speed and a substantial amount of snow. It ended up running almost the entire length of the pitch (about 1000 ft) and was certainly enough snow to carry a person, and potentially bury someone. A less than manageable sluff.
