Triggered small, manageable soft slabs near Box Elder Peak. They were not deep but propagated and released enough snow to carry a skier. There is a skier in the photo below.
Additionally, there were some monster sized cornices. This is the crack of one house sized cornice.
Noticed numerous soft slab avalanches likely triggered by breaking cornices
