Avalanche

My buddy triggered a weak layer on the true north cornice wall causing the cornice to fracture and break off. Though small, the result from the collapse caused at least 200 feet of a small slide. Everything listed in the CAIC daily report proved to be true. Photo here. https://avalanche.state.co.us/caic/obs/obs_report.php?obs_id=72242
