<p>Testing out the cornice development, cornices I broke with ski kicks broke in the 6"-14" range. With forecasted strong winds for the next couple of days should see them get quite large especially with these little spurts of storms.</p> <p>Snow drift trigger by a cornice break which appears to be 1-3 days old. Slabs 16"-36" deep.</p>
