Strong storm winds formed this cornice and wind slab, most likely in the last 24 hours. We were transitioning just a few feet below the ridge to the side of this cornice to stay out of the wind, which was blowing at least 50mph with much stronger gusts. Our movements while transitioning must have remotely triggered the avalanche. It was harmless to us or anyone else, as it only slid about 25ft.
