Perhaps it depends on the depth of the slab you're on? Very shallow slab is going to break the weak layer under the first skier. If it doesn't release subsequent skiers should probably stick to the same track to avoid testing another spot. Deep slab may not break down under the first skier and it would be better to spread the load instead of repeating in the same location. Snowpack suggests depth of slab. Just a thought.
tl;dr:
1. likely shallow soft slab: same track to avoid multiple collapses
2. likely deep hard slab: multiple tracks to spread the load
?
I never really post much on here, but thought I'd chime in. I'm skier #1 in the video. 2 skiers had already crossed the slope beneath where I had crossed. The skier who was caught was easily 60lbs more than the 3 other skiers. Our main mistake that day was poor time management (its hard to tell in the footage, but it was quite dark), and failure to pay attention to aspect and avoid a slope we knew had stability issues. If you guys want, I'll post the write up here that I submitted to the GNFAC.
Sure, I'd like to see that. Doesn't seem to be on the website yet.
