Coming down the south face of little superior around 10:30am the sun was obviously denser and warming. I ski cut the slope about 200' above a rock band with trees and it broke at my feet. The surface bed was the old sun crusted snow with dust on it from the previous day's winds. Easy to avoid this one but there would be serious consequence if caught and unable to get out of the slide path.
