Released above me so not sure exactly where. Sun came out for about 5 minutes, then clouds moved in prior to skiing the slope. Poor visibility/flat light aided in navigating my line choice to far skiers left of microwave than i wanted. Lost 1 ski, stayed on top whole time, went for a small ride and able to steer off to the right flank and stop. Skied out on one ski...no injuries.
