Comments:
Sun warmed the face and changed the snow conditions after ski patrol opened the southback gates. They had bombed the first shoot and I cut across it to check and it slid slowly but built up by the bottom. Maybe the top 4 inches slid. Cut over to the next chute and cause the same thingPhoto:

Since it had been bombed we just did a cut check at the top and that got it to slide.
