Quick report
Mostly bluebird day (albeit noticed the chill in shade or with any breeze), though wind from NE seemed to pick up around dusk. Crossed paths with likely party responsible for the tracks referenced in avy section and they made no reference to the avy so guessing it was natural/non-human triggered, though proximity of both boot (on top of cornice) and ski tracks (fairly near edge of wind slab) made me wonder. Sheltered east facing line and one of two south-facing gullies skied great with no signs of instability.

Near southern edge of Meiss Meadows, NE-facing, 9K’. Relatively widely propagating (300ish’), but fairly thin (seemed 6”-1’ from afar) and short running due to easing terrain D1.5 wind slab. Possibly cornice fall triggered, possibly but unlikely remote-triggered, per nearby boot pack (above, approaching edge of cornice) and ski (side-adjacent) tracks. See pics.
