Kicking cornices along Alexander Basin ridgeline before considering dropping in so to ski out Alexander. Very small cornice kick above intended line onto steep terrain pulled out 20 cm soft slab that propagated widely. As there was some hangfire, I chose not to venture out onto the bed surface very far, yet in the starting zone the weak layer was the new snow/old snow interface. SS-ASc-R3-D2
