Hard crust under pow. Ski cut caused storm snow to fail on underlying crust. Crown was around a foot .. most of the storm snow. Slide lacked energy, ran until slope angle mellowed <30. Minimal danger outside of a worst case scenario. Location was the cliffy choke half way between the Albion road and the ridge b/t LCC & BCC. No pics bc of flat light.
