Triggered on a ski cut. Began as wet loose, but pulled out a chunk of wind slab mid-track and ran much further than it would have otherwise. Winds were really getting down into the Snake Creek drainage, with lots of cross loading. The pocket pulled out by the wet loose was one of these cross loaded pockets.
