Party of one coming down Superior at about 4:15 pm broke soft slab, possibly a wind slab? It broke all the way across the ski cut. It was a relatively steep area in the gulch. It started slowly but then broke deeper and ran quite a distance breaking out some large chunks. Of course anything that breaks on on Superior is going to run 500 ft. The rest of the mountain all the way down was good. A little crust in a few places, maybe where it will have some propensity to break and run?
