Thank you! I will remember this for a while

Dont' cut top of coulier, but where it meets the wall. That's the weak spot.

[@benbethuneski]

What would you do differently?

[@AW33COM]

@@benbethuneski I would not go where the second skier went.

[@benbethuneski]

@@AW33COM hmmm interesting. That second skier is me. My partner was at the bottom and guided me in that way to avoid triggering another slab in the main feature

[@AW33COM]

​@@benbethuneski He kind of did not guide you, because at 5:11 you go where he has not gone, and you go into the most wind blown stuff on the wall probably. It was at the end, so you would probably survived, but you did trigger a slide there. Actually I saw at least 4 slides across both of you here. There is no way this was a safe day to ski that. Besides look at 5:24 If you got covered at the base of the wall it would take your buddy about 10 min to get back up to you before searching for you. He would be exhausted by the time he would get to you. Also, if he got covered at the very bottom, you would not be able to see exactly where from the spot you were standing due to that drop off at the end.

@@benbethuneski Other than that, I like your skiing, your turns and wrist work looked nice.
