Cornice drop triggered a 50 foot wide slide in Dutch draw jersey turnpike/conehead area. Ran shallow the length of the gutter with the chunk making it to the bottom. Cornice was large, narrow and overhanging. Didn't intentionally drop it but gave it room knowing it was likely to go. Broke roughly 10 feet back and triggered a slow moving slide. Pictures are poor as I didn't want to get any closer. Crown looked to be 1-2 feet deep and broke on the new snow. Happened at approx 11am
