This picture is looking down the slide path from where I self arrested, it continues through a stand of pines that roll over. I think it set off a sympathetic soft slab skier left that was wider but not as deep.
This pic shows one of the group at the location where I stopped traveling. There is visible damage to the vegetation.
This is a view of the entire slide from the safety point below the toe. You can see the trigger point by the tree, with about a 15 inch crown, the top of the slide veers to the left and sets off a sympathetic slide in the gulley closer to Holy Moley.
