Dropped a cornice to test slope of THC for wind slab activity and got a result. Slab broke and propagated, flushing out entire chute. Rocks and some vegetation on bed surface. Sorry no pictures, light went bad shortly after. Of note, someone had skied Bombay just a little further over in the cirque. Looks like they maybe made a slope cut at the top and got no results and skied it cleanly to the bottom.
