Slide on

<p>Amazing day in the Gorge overall. 6 laps altogether in steep trees. Everything was quite stable. Chanced a fairly steep straight north facing wind loaded slope that was fairly open and unsupported and ski cut it. Generated a 30cm wind slab slide that ran about 80m wide and ran out at least a few hundred meters. Bed surface was fairly soft and there is a second weak layer another 30cm down but it didn’t react too much. </p>
