Cornice drop broke loose 10in deep slab. Probably 100 wide and ran maybe 200ft. Cornice was 1.5ft. Pitch that broke was really only the steep enough part, so didn't run long.
Very obvious change in bed surface noted going up at 8900ft. Base snow was extremely faceted above that 8900ft mark. Different party set of another slide farther over on ridge at exact same time too.
