Found one of the sensitve wind slabs Evelyn warned of this morning on El Rollo. After a few scratchy runs on the more Easterly lines we decided to ski where the roll had slid big just before Christmas. More worried about there being enough snow on the bed than triggering a repeater, it was a bit of a surprise. I was able to ski off it to the slide and avoid being swept into what's left of the Aspens at the bottom of the roll. Hadn't seen the extent of the Christmas slide yet - 1000 vert to the Creek and appears to have taken out quite a bit of wood.
