Great ski conditions on a Cornice-Missile-Buzz's-Cornice tour. No sign of instability while skiing but hand shears at multiple elevations/aspects consistently produced planar failure of a 15-30cm consolidated slab on a granular bed with minimal effort. Special shout-out to Jerry McPosthole for walking up the middle of the uptrack back up to Cornice Ridge from the north basin.
