Did Cornice Ridge today. Arrived early, some older folks set the tone and skied some steeps, which were non-reactive. As the day warmed up and the clouds went away and the sun beamed, natural avalanches became of note. We counted 10 natural (from after the recent snow) Physically saw 2. Nothing over size 1.5 we’d say, largest propagating about 40ft.
