Natural Cornice break and wet loose in Alex Lowe Basin

From the Blackmore/Elephant saddle, I observed what looked to be a less than a day old cornice break which triggered a loose wet slide in front of it. The cornice debris was large, about the size of a VW beetle. I also observed some surface hoar on the north side of the saddle. Photo: B. Gordon
