While riding in a wind protected area I tested a hill that I commonly climb. I felt the snow give way under the sled and broke to the north eventually exiting the debris field while the slide was moving. In the pics attached you can see that our group had passed under the slope a couple times before I hit the hill. My tracks are the topmost tracks in both pics.
