Notes
From email: "I was coming down Wyoming bowl today around 2 pm and I seemed to have remotely triggered this slab. As I began my descent over the rollover and toward the slight pinch point, I spotted the spider effect of a decent-sized slab, breaking maybe 75 ft to my right but no cracking under my board or anywhere near me. I traversed over to be on the bed surface for the rest of the run. I should have known better, and lucky I didn’t get the carpet ripped out from underneath me and go for a ride. Crown appeared to be 1-2 deep, and I would guess 75 ft wide"
