Two days till the lifts close and there is fresh snow on the ground. Everyone is keen to make the most of it. Having done a few runs on lower angled slopes everyone was up for something a little more challenging. One of La Rosiere classic routes, The Back of the Fort.
The new snow had fallen with a bit of wind and there where definate signs of slabs at the top but no one really expected what happend.
Not the best bit of video but you can clearly see the fracture line. The run out was gentle enough and he only pulled his abs at the end as the snow was starting to build up over him. As soon as it all stopped he was moving hence the calm watching from the top.
It brings home the need to asses carfully where and what you are skiing even on slopes that you ski regularly.
