Skiing solo. Unintentionally Triggered on breakover steeper than 35 degrees. Caught and carried 60 feet. Fought my way to the edge of the slide so was not buried or carried into trees at bottom of slope. Tweaked my left knee and lost both my poles. Hobbled back to the top of the West Bowl then down to the car. Consider myself Very Lucky. Could have been hurt worse or completely buried.
