On our return back down Healy Creek, we saw new avalanche debris on SE facing slide paths. It appears that the cornice above failed and triggered a wind slab directly below which propagated and ran down the central avalanche path and in addition, it spread to the lookers right path and stepped down to a deeper layer over a convex roll and ran mid-path. Estimating Size 3 if considered as one event or two Size 2's.
