I checked out the slide on my way out touring east of Mission Ridge today, the picture doesn't do it justice. With the weird snow and wind patterns we've had this year the Outback area has freaked me out a bit. I took a short ride in a spot that rarely has wind loading, and it slid exactly the same two weeks later. There was another slab like the boys were buried in just down the ridge from there a week ago. I've avoided the natural half pipe were the incident occurred all this season because it's collecting too much snow and the lee side of the gully is very steep and it is quite deep. I've told my daughter to not go out there without me. I've been waiting for something like this to happen.
