Rising down from top of Body Bag Bowl, north of Lower Disease, we observed three recent windslab failures from just below ridge tops on a NE asp. All size 1. One failed from under cornice collapse (party on cornice above), one deliberate cornice block drop, and one skier accidental. All steep 37+ windloaded start zones. No significant temp effect today, but cornice tabs very droopy from yesterday's heat. Good winter skiing on non-solar aspects.
