Unintentional skier triggered cornice collapse that triggered an avalanche on the north side of Jug Mt. I was traversing 6-10 ft from the edge when a small bus sized cornice collapsed. I wasn’t caught, but my ski tips were left hanging in space. The cornice drop triggered a windslab avalanche that ran full path.
