The trailbreaker had some shooting cracks putting the trail in on the last bump of the sunburst ridge. The first skier triggered a slide about 2 feet deep. A slow moving slide that did not go far, but could have bigger consequences on a bigger slope. Soft bed surface with surface hoar laying on it.
