Quick report
- Cracking
- specific
Forgive me for I have sinned. I skied this chute, recognizing that it was wind loaded, and knowing the forecast was considerable for storm slab, and I skied it anyway. The first jump, turn to test the pack, set it off and down I went. I am further embarrassed because my airbag did not deploy, the lesson learned here is how you pack the bag really matters. I was OK, able to ski out of it, but I shouldn’t have been there in the first place, and it’s a lesson for me.
