Comments
Two hikers/snowboarders riding Wolverine Cirque witnessed a large cornice collapse at the top of one of the chutes between Granny's and Bombay. Debris rolled quite far into the apron and included multiple ice blocks the size of cars. At least 3-4 other cornices look worse than the one that broke and could fail at any time.
