Remote Cornice Trigger and Propagation in Lionhead

Remote Cornice Trigger and Propagation in Lionhead

Date
Activity
Skiing

While touring up a low-angle ridge in the northern Lionhead, I experienced several large collapses, notably one that triggered a cornice fall from 50’ away. Another remote collapse caused about 500’ of an E facing bowl to propagate, but not slide. ~9200’ E-SE
