Comments
We came across a size 2 avalanche on steep, leeward north facing steep slope just below the cliff band at the peak of cleveland. Likely triggered by a cornice fall. Size 2, ran the entire length of the slope but did not trigger any deeper slabs on the lower face.
We saw another smaller, size 1-2 cornice triggered avalanche along the peak of feather.
