Went to the Monitors via USA bowl. A large cornice had released naturally from the peak of the South Monitor. It took the top layer of snow for 100 feet wide and ran approx 400 feet. I did not want to drop in solo and poke around the debris. Smaller cornice had calved off from the ridge to the north. Wind was howling with more snow transporting on the ground than falling from the sky.
