I was skinning up to take a third lap in USA bowl. When I topped out on the ridge between USA and Radar Love I ran into a party of two who had just cut a cornice. The cornice triggered what looked to be a wind slab that stepped down to facets near the ground and propagated a few hundred feet to the skiers left. Couldn't tell how far it ran, but I don't think it would have been survivable. Sorry I didn't snap a photo.

Here are some good photos taken from the bottom by "Bayou Dave" who was snowmobiling in the area. Thanks so much for emailing these. Bruce Tremper
