Walking along the ridge and approaching the edge we saw cracks shoot out thru the recently improved cornice and propagate onto the steep (lightly) wind loaded face. Avalanche only averaged 2-4 inches deep but had surprising propagation compared to the rest of today's activity. Poor vis. Didn't see a whole lot else of note.

Steep terrain between Tusc and Wolvy

Looked like it slid on old wind board. Could've been some nsf, didn't investigate further.
