Avalanche
Saw three small D1 avalanches about 1 km further north on the ridge. Above TL around 11, 200, East aspect. They ran just below ridge top and one appeared to have been triggered from small cornice collapse. These were smaller wind slabs, crown heights in 30 cm or less range (difficult to tell as it was from a distance).
