Is it possible to ski in an avalanche?

Assuming you: don't panic, keep your balance, keep
your orientation in whiteout conditions etc.

Matt skied off the slab he released the other day. I
skied off or skied with a bunch of small, slow moving
slab/slides I set off last season.

So I guess the question is. Does the roiling, boiling
snow in an avalanche have the consistency or float to
allow you to ski it. Or after the snow reaches a
certain speed does it loose float. Or like in Jaws do
you get pulled down.

Steve
I sometimes think about weird stuff on those 35 mile
bicycle rides.
