I unintentionally, remotely triggered a cornice fall from about 8 feet back right at the top of Alta's Grizzly Gulch cat track that ran into one of the chutes in Honeycomb. A decent chunk of the cornice fell and triggered a slide in what look like a wind pillow. The slide entrained more snow and ran over Solitude's Honeycomb traverse track. There were two long cracks in the top of the chute but that section stayed in place. A scary little incident but in line with today's forecast, given all the wind last night.
