Skier triggered cornice, Hyalite

Skiers up Hyalite triggered this cornice on Mt. Bole as they traversed along the ridgeline. The cornice triggered a small slab avalanche that took out the skiers skin track. Cornices are under a lot of stress from this week's snow and wind and should be given a wide distance along ridges. Photo GNFAC
