Another one that often goes... soft slap broke above skier as skier ski cut top of open area (was at location picture was taken when it broke)... slow start, but picked up speed at rollover. 12" crown 80 ft wide, but only half release completely. Didn't propagate at the rollover where it opens up and gets steeper, but did run out most of the slope (~150 yds)
[Forecaster Comment] - This avalanche occurred outside of the bounds - but close to - Park City Mountain Resort. Thanks to the observing party for notifying PCMR patrol, thereby avoiding an unnecessary search.
