I skied over a convex roll to drop into Jennifer's, and briefly noted an old crown just below the top. Upon almost reaching the bottom of the pitch, I briefly slowed down to navigate the old/existing debris field. My wet sluff caught up with me, knocked me off my feet, and carried me about 20 feet until I got off the flank into the trees.
