Earlier on another slope I did a hard turn and got snow to slide for only 5 feet, but this time I did a hard turn right on the break over and came to a complete stop. The snow started sliding slowly as before, but picked up speed and whacked a pine tree on the way down to two other pine trees. My ski partner caught up and did a good hard turn at the break over as well, but 20 feet over from me. He set off a same size wet sluff that also hit several pine trees on the way down. The bed surface was not as fun to ski as the fresh powder on the slightly flatter slopes.
