Watched a skier drop in from the low point on the cornice. The windslab on the slope broke, skier was caught and carried off their feet but stayed on top of the debris. They came to a stop maybe halfway down the debris field, gathered their things and skied out, did not look like they were injured.
The cornices are very well developed on the Patsy ridgeline and there are some large chunks on the slope below.
