Comments
Walking along the ridge and approaching the edge we saw cracks shoot out thru the recently improved cornice and propagate onto the steep (lightly) wind loaded face. Avalanche only averaged 2-4 inches deep but had surprising propagation compared to the rest of today's activity. Poor vis. Didn't see a whole lot else of note.
Steep terrain between Tusc and Wolvy
Looked like it slid on old wind board. Could've been some nsf, didn't investigate further.
