Comments
Two separate accidentally human triggered cornice drops occurred back to back into West Monitor Bowl on the ridge between Willow fork and west Monitor. All ski parties were skiing the lower angle willow fork slopes but got too close to the large wind loaded cornice. Luckily no injuries. The cornice fall did not appear to trigger a slab but did send significant debris down West Monitor bowl.
