Kicked off a decent slab at crystal theatre on a northish facing aspect up near the state border where there was some wind loading going on. Broke on a rollover about a foot deep and 30 feet wide. Ran a couple hundred feet. I was able to keep my balance and ski out of it to the trees on my right and safely ski to the bottom. The trees skied nice and we didn’t observe any signs of instability in other areas. Snowed heavy all day. And was definitely coming in wet and heavy at the rig when we left. Lots of new snow up there. We dug around the aspect that slid and found some sugary crap around the base.
