Skied in the headwaters of Williams Creek below Chist Peak. Temperatures were mild, winds light, sky overcast. In the alpine ski pen 10-15cm old powder on north facing slopes, nil on south facing. Recent cornice triggered avalanches on north aspects to size 2. Debris ran far out onto gentle terrain. Entraining surface snow and appearing to not step down. We moved fast when under the big ones and gave a wide birth when above.
