Scott Belton, of Adrenalin Descents, sent us this video filmed by one of his clients of Scott sawing off a cornice on Terminator 3 this week. The first chunk of cornice simply plowed down slope with no result. The second chunk initiated a size 3 avalanche 150m wide with an average depth of 40-80cms. The slab ripped fast and ran over 1200m to valley bottom. Scott figured that it was a wind slab, and not a result of the Dec. 29 surface hoar. Great example of why carrying a cord and taking the time to drop some weight on a slope prior to jumping in is a good practice.
