I was touring today and came across this avalanche in Corn Bowl just off the ridge line past 9990. The slide occurred on Monday 2/28/11. I tried to get closed to examine the crown but the upper portion was very hollow sounding. I had no rope of partner so I did not take the chance of getting close. The bed surface is still very hard from my giving it a good wack from the side. It did not venture closer due to the hollow sound of the remaining cornice. It appears from the photos a skier jumped in and it collapsed and he was toward the west and missed the path. It appears to have run about 75 yards down the bowl. I did not go down to examine the debris pile. I was not comfortable with the entire ridge line at 1 PM. There were numerous sluffs starting on the ridge line in the bowl. The skier missed the slide and
