Comments:
From Fat Larry’s ridge I kicked a cornice off onto the north east aspect.
Cornice broke and set off a wind loaded slab, knocking snow off small trees 300-400’ down.
None reported
I stayed on safe slopes and ridge lines. Stopped to check out the steep terrain in moon bowl and see how it would react with the cornice weight falling on it.
