Comments
While traversing the ridge between Milly peak and wolverine bowl, remote triggered a cornice break. This triggered a small wind slab which ran about 30 feet or so. After experiencing this we decided to tone back our objectives and stick to something low angle. Winds were absolutely ripping on ridge lines today. Also of note- noticed large car sized cornice debris at the base of the north facing side of Tuscarora , most likely a large cornice break.
