Comments
Kicked off a large cornice along the Emma ridge line into Jaws and it stepped down and ripped out the whole chute. The avy carried past the flats and continued to the uphill part of the SE shots in upper days. Looked to perhaps remotely trigger another small slide in the basin of upper days, but not certain if it was there prior to the Jaws slide.
