Our party was coming up from a run on Will's Hill and traversing around the ridge above West Monitor. One of our party remotely triggered a cornice fall that cracked several feet back from the edge near the tip of his ski. The cornice was about the size of a small car and stepped down to the ground about 20 feet down the slope. It looked like it took any snow that was freshly loaded with it on the ride. This was slightly around the corner from the large cornice triggered avalanche from a few days ago.
