Quick report
- Cracking
- Observed
About 6 inches fresh snow with heavy snow still falling. Strong winds in exposed areas. This zone was not getting winds at the time we skied it. Made a check turn of. first roll over with no movement. Fracture accursed a couple turns down and propagated both directions with the slope failing both ahead and behind me. I ended up getting carried downhill a few seconds and the then stopped on a lower angle slope below. 4 of us in the group and I was the first to ski this section, so had spotters. We also observed shooting cracks on wind loaded areas near the top of Incline Peak.
