Avalanche
After a ski cut the slope fractured 2 feet down into storm snow on facets. Large collapse and cracks but was unable to get it to slide after it fractured. Also a small avalanche off the ridge after a long day and night of wind loading. Cornices were collapsing via remote trigger on one light kick. Also we’re breaking quite far into the ridge.
