Slab broke at a steep rollover midway down the main slope. Rider who triggered it was the 2nd rider to descend that slope, about 8 feet to the riders left of the first track. Rider was able to point it and carry his speed thru the fracture, ollie up over the stauchwall and cut hard right and let the debris slide by downslope and off a cliff band a couple hundred feet below.
Depth was a guess from a few hundred feet away. We had to leave for the day following this and snow and clouds had moved I'm limiting visibility.
