Notes
Triggered a couple small slides on the cornices that typically form in the corridor here: 45.91263, -110.95506
wind was blowing in strong gusts and it started snowing very heavy around 1pm
super reactive. Approached the small slope and the whole thing went. It was only 2-3 inches deep. Likely from wind blown today and some of what was falling. It did run for about 40-50 wide. Nothing that would bury a person but definitely a telling sign.
