Quick report

On our trek back to the SnoPark trailhead from the Frog Lake hut we saw the remnant's of what appeared to be a relatively fresh cornice break. It looked to be natural and by the looks of the debris it appeared to step down on to a wind slab. It was hard to tell with the obscured visibility. D2 avalanche, NE Aspect at 8500 ft
