Photo is of large cornice formed from storm on April 18th looking across at Emma Ridge.
It's very possible two skiers ahead of me kicked the cornice before descending into Days. It could also be a combination of natural activity during the storm and test evidence. I also stomped a section that ran on top of the snow for about 100 feet. Not smart on my part! It broke similar to the report from Honeycomb 4/19, I did not fall over the lip thankfully. I turned around descended Toledo bowl safely producing some minor surface sluffing. Sensitive up high lots of wind packed those cornices higher than I had expected.
