Activity
Snowmobiling

Witnessed multiple natural avalanches on slopes that exceeded 30deg of incline.  When riding on test slopes with similar conditions we saw shooting cracks all around the sled.  We broke a couple slabs on hills around 25degs right at the crest of the hill but only the crest broke or showed signs of instability.
