Strong west wind on the ridge loading Square Top on leeward side. New snow wind load was 2 - 3 ft deep based on pole probing. Cornice dropped while traversing ridge triggered slide on north end of ST. Imagine if skier triggered, may have propagated further south into the main shot and been much larger?
