bow summit size 2 2018-03-09

<p>We triggered size 2 300m slope at Bow Summit @ ~12:30pm. We had done 1 lap of the lower 100m slope before gaining the higher 300 m slope. We Noted that the slope curvature and wind were different above, but should have taken this more into consideration. After finishing the skin up to 300 m gain, we skied 1 at a time down. While parts of the slope skier's left were similar to the lower section, skier's right was more wind-loaded. A narrow wind-loaded section further east of the skin-up triggered on first skier on their 4th turn down the slope. 30-40cm crown, 30m across, slid down to base. Skier pulled avalanche bag and stayed on the surface. No injuries. </p>
