The new snow felt dense & punchy, so we decided to throw a ski cut into the slope before proceeding. Adam executed a nice ski cut but wasn't going quite fast enough. He slid down the bed surface a few feet before successfully arresting. The slide was fairly fast moving as it moved down the gulley. The failure occurred on NSF snow created by cold temps earlier this week.
