Comments
Significant direct (not cross) wind loading on NW aspect. Very easy to trigger small (<= sz 0.5) wind slabs on same aspect but shallow, no propagation and didn't trigger anything larger. Cornice fall on N/NE aspect did not cause a release. Seemed touchy and chose to ski easiest/safest descent.
