Avalanche

Wind triggered a cornice failure. Fracture line was prominent from across the valley. Avalanche (approximately 2.0) ran 2/3 the length of STS Couloir and reached valley bottom. The slide covered ski-out tracks on the south side of Connaught Creek. Large debris was also noticeable in Cheops North #5 from an earlier avalanche.
