Quick Observation
After a ski cut at the convexity at the start of the run which triggered a small slab (15cm 2m wide) and flushed down some sluff I dropped in. In the second turn I triggered a wider properaging slab. About 15 to 20 cm slab depth with a 10m wide crown that ran quite fast roughly 200m down the slope. The slab failed on the rain/melt crust. I managed to escape to the side but one of my skies got ripped off. I recovered the ski later in the run out zone.
